It's to be a Christmas present for my mum, who used to be a keen sewist (?) but hasn't done any for a while. She's retiring soon and wants to get back into it. She is good at using a machine and could make a skirt, pair of curtains with pelmets, trousers etc fairly easily and she can follow patterns. I think what I'm after is a book with lots of different projects to give her ideas, and preferably the patterns too so she can get stuck in and have a go. The ones I've seen on Amazon look like they're intended for absolute beginners though (lots of pages telling you how to thread the machine or sew a buttonhole, which she doesn't need). Does anyone have any good books they'd recommend?
