This review is from: 24-Hour Sewing Projects (24 Hour Projects - Retail Price $14.95) (Paperback)

This is a beautifully written book. The projects vary from the more simple to the more complex. The photographs are lovely and the instructions are quite clear. The fabric choices are very current. If you are interested in simple quilting projects, there are projects here as well. This book provides a lot of inspiration for the home dec sewer!

2.0 out of 5 stars Similar projects - poor illustration, February 8, 2008

This review is from: 24-Hour Sewing Projects (Hardcover)

This book's most projects are similar. If you do one you can think of making different projects with the same technique all by your self. Illustrations to show the making steps are hand drawn, not the real ones. The book is more like incorporating quilting techniques in different home projects ( a lot of which are christmas projects).

4.0 out of 5 stars sometimes simple is actually best, June 14, 2009

By 

eager reader "creativelyspeaking" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 24-Hour Sewing Projects (Hardcover)

It may seem that this is too simple. But I keep coming back to it when I need a quick gift idea. There are baby items (bibs, blankets), patchwork square items like: Christmas tree skirt, table runners, pillows, quilts. Decorative towels, tissue box cover. All simple things that may've been done before...idk. I still like it alot, though, b/c I really do use this book. I just made a very nice big tote bag from here that is big enough to be an overnight bag.
