Learn to sew - book recommendations?

[ENSMUM]

This is probably completely unrealistic, as I never have any free time! But supposing I find some, I would love to learn to sew and make things.

I have a sewing machine, but the last time I used one properly was at school nearly 20 years ago so my skills (if you could ever have called them that) are pretty rusty.

Could anyone recommend a good book? I think what I want would be something that works through progressively more difficult projects, starting very simple with easy to follow instructions.

Thanks
