I bought this for my daughter ( 9 years old) and she was able to sew a couple of pillows in no time. It is a very basic beginner book. The only complain it does not have too many choice to do, but it is fine for a beginners.

This was a great simple sewing book. Almost everything you need was contained in the kit. Product description was spot on.

If you don't even know how to thread the machine, this book might be a good starting point for you. I am a 20-something just learning to sew. This book helped me get started in an easy and pleasant manner. With this book I did in 30 minutes what I couldn't do in three hours with my machine's manual; I learned to thread my machine, wind a bobbin, make straight stitches and turn corners. I also learned about trimming corners and turning points. The star pillow project was a great way to make sure I understood all the basics of machine sewing. After this book, I went on to Sew Fast, Sew Easy by Elissa Myerich to make some other beginner projects. I will certainly save this book for my daughter when she is ready to learn to use the sewing machine.
