I like the book. Its projects are varied and fun. I plan on using it in my sewing class as a fundraiser for a local organization. There are new techniques and new takes on familiar techniques.

I found it very disappointing and there was nothing in it that I could use. I forwarded it to my daughter. She only saw one thing that interested her. She copied the directions and donated the book to a neaby thrift store.
