Dont botherBy Internet shopaholicAlthough it seems like there are probably cute ideas in this book. the complete lack of differences in the colors for the pictures in the instructions make this impossible for me to follow! Its just all one confusing jumble of information to me- and Ive been sewing for 50 yrs!!6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Disappointed! Beautiful photos on front. simple drawings inside!By Lisa LiddiardI am new to sewing and very much a visual learner! Seeing the colorful photos on front. I thought the inside would also have detailed. colorful photos. Wrong! All it offers are simple drawings. This book hardly inspires me to want to sew anything!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. good organizational projects and good for gifts tooBy ViolettaThis book has become a favorite of mine for its informative and interesting sewing projects. The projects are very diverse. from a hammock to a knitting needle case and everything in between. I differ with some of the reviewers in that I dont think this book is aimed at beginners at sewing; although everything is clearly laid out. and there is a lot of good information about sewing techniques. most of the projects have many layers of pockets. zippers. unusual shapes. etc. I have been sewing for many years and still learned some new techniques from this book. but the best way to use it is to read it carefully and start with one of the easier projects. then move on to more difficult ones. (They are generally offered in ascending order of difficulty.) The most vaulable part. in my opinion. is the ideas about how to change the patterns to suit your own needs. Dont need a knitting needle case? Then change it into a jewelry case with the authors suggestions and directions. There are lots of similar changeabout ideas. making many more than the 31 projects indicated. My one criticism is a small one: the photos are nice color ones. but the items are made out of canvas and not all of the photos are as attractive as they could be. Some more variation in fabric (such as perhaps satin or a pretty print for the jewelry roll) would have also given sewers more ideas. But this book is a winner. in my opinion. and it makes a great gift for anyone who sews and likes to add a personal touch to projects. I thought the directions were concise and absolutely clear. and I like the drawings that show how to measure and cut. All good advice!
