This person gets it!

"The first project I tackled was the tea towel apron. In the time it took to watch a movie, I was able to pull it off with about five dollars worth of supplies found at a discount store. My young daughter and I also made the vintage fabric headbands, and plan to make more as gifts for her friends. I pulled out my sewing machine, but never even had to deal with re-threading the bobbin. For the absolute novice, Baxter also includes a few pages in the front of the book to explain the sewing techniques and vocabulary used."
