clearly there are different definitions of "beginner"
I'm reading a sewing instruction, that says it is suited for beginners, and it really doesn't look all that complicated, and has lots of photos for the steps. So that is promising.
However, first there are still a bunch of words that I have no idea what they mean (though I have used a sewing machine before so my knowledge is actually not zero), also it omits crucial information in the steps, like it doesn't even say what stitch it is they are using for the seams (though at least I can see that on the photo, and I think I recognize it), it says that you need to leave an opening to turn the piece, but doesn't say how large that needs to be to be turned easily, and so on and so forth.
I think since I need to return some library books anyway, I'm going to come back with a basic sewing book that has a glossary, or "sewing for dummies" or something like that.
