5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book!!!, October 16, 2008
By E. Perry (Rumford, RI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I LOVE this book! It is full of fresh, unique projects that I can't wait to get started on. The photos are beautiful and inspiring and the directions are clear and very detailed (unlike some sewing books). There is a pocket with full-sized patterns in the back of the book which is very useful. I buy a lot of sewing books and this is the best one I've seen in a long while. Beautiful!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book for experts and beginners alike., October 24, 2008
By L. Rees (Florida) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Seams to Me is a beautiful book. There are beautiful photographs, illustrations, and detailed instructions. There are projects here for everyone. I would consider myself an intermediate sewer. I've been sewing for over ten years and there are many projects I'm interested in completing. There is a quilt project, a fabric art project, as well as many other projects that would be appropriate (and fun) for varying levels of experience. More experienced sewers can skim the detailed instructions and the intro explaining sewing tools and such. One of the most common complaints concerning sewing books is that the instructions aren't detailed enough. Horner had the foresight to serve her customers and include excellent instructions and illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Basics and inspiration for crafty people!, October 29, 2008
I had already bought and returned two other sewing books trying to get a good basic primer with some neat projects and adaptable patterns. I picked up this book and was enchanted! The pictures are really gorgeous and having never heard of Ms. Horner I was intrigued by her beautiful fabrics.
I'm a self-taught sewer (or is it seamstress?) and wanted to get a book to really get the basics for lots of different kinds of sewing (quilting, clothes, home projects, etc). I always thought I was kind of missing out on the real techniques to make my sewing projects look professional and finished. I've finally found a great reference for good "rules" of sewing without being too technical. The pictures and illustrations are very clear and helpful. I plan on making lots of the projects in the book and look forward to tracking down some of her beautiful fabrics.
If I had one negative thing to say, I would have liked a few more clothing projects for adults, although with the information in the book I feel pretty confident I could sew from bought patterns more easily.
All in all, great book for someone that wants a beautiful and inspiring beginning sewing book!
