TorresI really like this book because it takes the basic core patterns and provides details on how to create variations from the basic core design.The projects and directions include the Basic Bodice (Barely Basic Top/Dress; Knotty Apron variation; Sunshine Halter; Side-Tiered smock; Perfect Party Dress; Pocket Pinafore; Ruffled Peek-a-Boo Jumper); Peasant Top/Dress (Classic; Ruffled Empire Dress/Top; Tiered Twirly dress; fluttered-Sleeved top; ruffled neck top); Pants (Pants/Capris; Ruffled pants; Racing stripe pants; Lace-Edged Gauchos; Tiered Pants) and Skirts (No-Hem; Treasure; on-the-border; apron skirt; double layer twirl skirt; twirly girly skirt).I would definitely recommend this book to both the novice and the experience sewer. If you are starting to get into sewing boutique type clothing; I would recommend starting with this book instead of buying all the separate patterns that are out there. I wish that I was able to purchase this book before sewing girl clothes because it would have definately saved me money so that I could buy more fabric for my stash. :) You definitely get A LOT from this book and a bang for your buck!!! Happy Sewing!!! :)3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Nice book. Includes 23 projects in sizes 2--6By pchefNice book. Includes 23 projects in sizes 2--6. I saw several patterns on display at Creations of Kerrville (TX) that were adorable. I had the book already but bought their fabrics for one of these!! Worthwhile investment!!4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Super Fabulous Fun!By Clemson_GirlJust as described; a jumping off point for people who want to create cute clothes for the little girls in their lives. Showing you the basics and doing the best to inspire you to continue to adjust the patterns and be creative with your sewing. This book is really great; not at all difficult to follow as an intermediate sewer. I dont think it would be hard to use it even as a beginner. Very satisfying to use and complete projects with; in fact I cannot wait to make more with it. The pattern pages are on very sturdy paper; and not difficult to copy/trace over using pattern paper (which will be neccessary rather than cutting them out - worth it though). I did need to make some supplemental pattern pieces - for instance the straight pieces for the ruffles and tiers - however the demensions are given for every cut needed. Very Very pleased!
