Format:Hardcover
I ordered this book for my sister for her Birthday as we both love sewing and making things for the home but I have to say I was a little bit disappointed with it. The content was modern and nicely displayed but the projects in it weren't anything new and in many cases had been done better in other books (for example Amy Butler, Tonne Finnager). Also, as suggested by the photo of the teenage girl on the front, I felt that the projects in this book were more suitable for a younger person or somebody with less sewing experience. I would say that if you wanted to buy a present for a young person who had just bought their first house and wanted to start making things this would be ideal as it's very retro with clear instructions. However, if you are an experienced sewer you may find it a little too simple and disappointing compared to other books.

101 Great Ways to Sew a Metre contains some beautiful, modern designs. I am a beginner to sewing, but did find the instructions and illustrations clear. The book also includes a wallet of patterns. The book is very well-designed. It is spiral-bound so it lays flat which is very handy when you have your hands full of pins and fabric. There are plenty of patterns in the book. The patterns include clothes, household bits and bobs and stuff for kids. My one big disappointment with the book is that it uses imperial measurements. I had heard about the American version of this book and was delighted when I saw that they were re-publishing it for a non-US audience. The title has been changed from 'yard' to 'metre' and I assumed the patterns would also be converted to metric. Unfortunately it is only the title that has been changed. Whilst I can still work out the measurements, I don't think in yards and inches so I was a bit disappointed.

This is a great book if (like me) you don't have much in the way of sewing experience.
It has some really great and varied little projects, which I am looking forward to making! From Oven gloves, to Nightdresses, to soft toys and pet beds! I think there is something for everyone.
I love the fact that it comes with the patterns in a seperate pocket at the front of the book. I think this is/was an American book and like one of the other 'reviewers' mentioned, the title says metre but the measurements etc are all in Imperial (inches), which may make it more difficult if you can only work and think in centimetres. Luckily for me I can work in both, having Imperial parents and learning Metric at school.
If you can get over the fact that it is in Imperial rather then Metric though, I would highly recommend this book! FAB!
