Format:Paperback
I haven't properly sewn anything since I was a teenager and fancied exploring my old hobby. However I am far from an expert and felt I needed a bit of guidance so I bought this book and a few others to inspire me and build my confidence. This book was however by far my favorite. I loved all the projects which ranged in ability and the time needed to complete them.
The book offers instructions on making a range of things from beautiful book jackets, cushions, quilted style blankets, needle cases, curtains, bathroom mats and much more. It is not hard to imagine how you could really transform your home with these projects. The instructions are written clearly and illustrated with diagrams which really helped a novice like me understand what I was supposed to be doing. Clear guidance is given on what is needed for each project and the estimated time it will take you to complete each one. There is something in this book for everyone - from beginner to accomplished sewer, and you don't need a fancy sewing machine to complete the projects - I rescued my antique Jones sewing machine out of the garage which can only do 3 different lengths of stitch. It really is a beautiful book, I love it.
I have just completed my first project - a fabric recipe book jacket. I am really pleased with the finished result - it looks like something you would buy in the shops and has inspired me to make a few more as gifts. I have gone from being a bit nervous and dubious of my own ability to planning my next project with excitement and confidence.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves sewing. You won't be disappointed.

I loved the variety of projects in this book.I found the photography pleasant and representative of the items.Each project has a projected "time to complete" caption which is useful. All in all, buy it!

Format:Paperback
Lots of lovely projects that you can imagine having in your home - not too fussy or overly designed - but still appealing enough to add something special. It's also easy to imagine how you could make the projects in your own choice of fabrics. The artworks make the instructions easy to follow, and the I like the no-fuss attitude to everything. I just took one star away for the awful photography - bad lighting, unimaginative styling and lack of attention to detail lets the pretty projects down. However a must for anyone who wants simple projects and a straightforward approach.
