Fabulous sewing book,
By
This review is from: Seams to Me: 24 New Reasons to Love Sewing (Spiral-bound)
What I liked about the book:* The spiral format of the book makes it easy to use. There are 24 projects, most of them are fresh (not a rehash of projects already in other books or readily available online), there are 10 paper patterns (ready to be cut as they are printed on one side only). The projects are varied: for your sewing room, bags, home deco projects, women clothing, kids clothing, quilt, wall hanging art, baby toy, even one project for your pet etc. The book is a visual feast, very enjoyable to browse through with lots of bright and cheerful colours. * The book is very comprehensive. You will learn how to set up your sewing space, what tools are really worth having, she offers useful tips that I have not seen in other similar books, there is even a lesson on colour combination based on saturation. I love this book because Anna Maria somehow, through what she is generously sharing in this book, has inspired me to be more creative in my sewing process. She is inspiring me to think/act/create as a designer/artist and not just a seamstress. * I like the fact that she used other designers' fabrics in addition to her own, so the book is not a marketing book for her fabric lines. * The tutorials are very well explained, and for each project she add a litte "color notes" where she explains why she chose that print and colour (it's like an insider tip on how designers select fabrics for their projects). What I didn't like: * A very few projects are already familiar to me (like the cozy cube) * I would have loved to see full pictures of her studio To recap, it's a very good book, worth having even if you already have all the other fabric designers books (Amy Butler etc).

Such a great book!!,

This review is from: Seams to Me: 24 New Reasons to Love Sewing (Spiral-bound)
I found about this book through one of my blogs and decided I had to have it. I am an intermediate sewer and this is just great for me. The sections are laid out nicely, it's spiral bound which is a must and comes with full size patterns to use which I love. You won't be dissapointed, a great book with great tips.

Seams to Me - 24 New reasons to love sewing,
By
This review is from: Seams to Me: 24 New Reasons to Love Sewing (Spiral-bound)
This is a beautifully produced book - very readable - with lots of interesting projects and is very instructive. The patterns are in a separate envelope attached at the back of the book - all beautifully made. Lots of things you would like to have a go at ranging from easy upwards, but all well described and do-able.
