Craft books have to lie flat so that you can use them properly and patterns are always useful - this book has both. In this book, you'll find contemporary children's clothes and useful items like Pyjama bags - the cutest you've ever seen. Adults get the same treatment, with simple contemporary dresses for women and just one pants pattern for men. My favourite is the Miss Marlo dress. Then there are blankets, cushions and pillowcases (very cute), quilts and more for the home. Whilst you are busy making, have a stack of Pip's choc chip biscuits on hand, the recipe is at the back of the book. That's it then, life sorted in one chic book.
