I love this book! I bought it based mostly on having heard of the author through craft websites, etc. but also on some of the Amazon reviews. Bought it on a whim really, to make up an order to save postage! But absolutely love it! Really good value for money, lots of inspiration and in fact just about every project had me thinking "I'm going to make that"! Have already made the Simple Tote (well, 5 of them actually!) and Doorstop (2!) and am just choosing what to make next. Very easy, step by step stages make every stage of each project crystal-clear. And the results are stylish and practical. Lovely photographs and very clear diagrams illustrate exactly what you're aiming for.
You can guess I like this book! If you're into sewing easy but stylish things for you and your home, then this is the book for you. (Oh, and the patterns are already real-size and on proper papers stored in a neat envelope at the front of the book, ready to cut and use, not those annoying "Just photocopy it to 200%" patterns that lots of sewing books tend to have, so you're ready to sew!

A must have book for anyone who loves sewing. What's great with this book is that it contains an envelop with full size patterns for some of the projects, also included are patterns of applique for those interested in embellishing their projects. The design of the projects are simple (great for beginners), however more experienced sewers will love the fact that you can embellish the projects with appliques or embroidery making them more satisfying creativity wise. The book is divided into function: cook, go, nest, organize. The projects are: placemat with chopstick pocket, napkins and coasters, pot holder, cafe apron with pocket, oven mitt, kitchen towels, reversible apron, picnic placemat, simple tote, gardening tote, yoga mat tote, all day tote, sun hat, simple drawstring backpack, curtain with pockets, duvet cover, pillowcase, draft snake, doorstop, wall organizer, tool roll, checkbook cover, bed pocket, magazine holder.

This is a really stylish book - well designed, clear and inspiring. The thing I like best about it is something very simple: the way it's bound so that it lies flat whilst you work on the projects. The projects are very simple (I'm a run-before-you-can-walk kinda gal) but they are also versatile so they could easily be cusomised. Recommended.

Very simple indeed. Good beginner's workbook.
This is a cute little book, with very basic patterns. Napkins, potholders, kitchen towel, tote bags, aprons, all simple and inoffensive. Read more
