Good collection of projects if you don't have the magazine,
This review is from: The Best of Sew Simple Magazine (Leisure Arts #4826): A Collection of Quick Projects (Paperback)
I don't know about you, but I often pick up Sew Simple on the newsstand. It either has a project I want to try or something that I think would be good for my nieces who are relatively new to sewing and quilting. This book includes projects ranging from totes to quilts to home dec with a few fun things included. I think the fabric drink umbrellas will be perfect for next summer's barbeque, the funky pillowcase will be great for several on my holiday gift list, and the java jacket is bound to find its way into a stocking or two. If you're looking for some quick and fun projects, this is a good source. And, a bonus for those new to sewing is the supplies and techniques section.

A rehash of old projects...,
By Sue in NJ (Berkeley Heights, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best of Sew Simple Magazine (Leisure Arts #4826): A Collection of Quick Projects (Paperback)
...to make up for the fact that a new issue of the magazine hasn't come out since last year? The old editor left, and the new editor only released one issue, which I did not think was as good. Now this "greatest hits" comes out, with a cover design that matches the old style! I hope this means the magazine will come back in it's old form. I really loved it! However, if you don't have all the back issues, this is a great way to catch up.

Barely Any Patterns,

This review is from: The Best of Sew Simple Magazine (Leisure Arts #4826): A Collection of Quick Projects (Paperback)
I'm a beginner to intermediate sewer and I don't recieve the magazine that published this book, so I thought I would give it a whirl. It was a disapointment.
Pro's: 1.Lots of projects to try. 2.Some extra sewing tips in the back of the book to help the beginner. Con's: 1.It only suggests patterns you should use for most of the projects in the book. Very few actually have their own patterns in the book. 2.There are barely any directions for each project. 3.This book is definitly geared to the beginner sewer. 4.All of these projects you can find online for free if you do a little searching.
