5.0 out of 5 stars Creative, fun and easy!!!, August 22, 2003

This review is from: Designer Projects for Bed & Bath (Singer Sewing Reference Library) (Paperback)

I borrowed this book from a local library and I liked it so much I bought my own copy. I had never used a sewing machine before except for a toy one when I was about 9 but I guess that doesn't count.

I found this book quite helpful. There are step-by-step pictures for each project which of course was a big plus for me.

Another thing I liked was the variety of projects I could choose from. The books includes sections on:

Bedding Basics, Bedspreads, Duvet Covers, Bed Skirts, Pillow Shams, Decorative Closures for Shams & Duvets, Decorative Details for Bed Linens, Bedside Caddy, Sheer Overlay Pillows, Rod-Pocket Curtains, Curtains Tiebacks, Curtain Hardware, Basic Shower Curtains, Shower Curtains with Tucked Borders ,Curtains with Draped Headings, Banded Shower Curtains, Sink & Vanity Skirts, Fringed-fabric Rugs, Decorative Towels, Hamper Liner Laundry Bag, and Working with Decorator Fabrics

All sections have easy-to-follow instructions. You are probably mentally challenged if you can't follow the simple steps in this book. Remember, I had never used a sewing machine before. Many of the projects look fancy and complicated but are easy to make.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed to say the least, March 22, 2001

This review is from: Designer Projects for Bed & Bath (Singer Sewing Reference Library) (Paperback)

I bought this book because I thought it would teach me how to make decorative towels and other items for my home. However, I was very disappointed with the instructions and photograghs. It didn't explain every step. It left a lot of guess work. I was especially disppointed to find out there were only 6 towel designs and out the 6 designs only two of them I thought were creative. The other 4 I think anyone could do without any instructions from a book. Very Disappointed.
