My review title pretty much says it all- "so-so". The pictures are cute, and the projects are cute, although I feel like I've seen them all before in other books. There are totes, purses, aprons, corsage pins, holiday decorations, etc. Overall, I'm not sure I will actually make any of these projects, but I don't think I will return this book either. If you are like me, and sort of collect craft/sewing books, it would be worth having on the shelf. Also, since some of the projects are quite simple, my 9 year old daughter, a beginning seamstress, will probably enjoy it.

Not so crafty when it comes to sewing projects? For many of people sewing and creating homemade projects can be a nightmare! That's why needlecraft authors and experts Alice Butcher and Ginny Farquhar have collaborated in putting together "Sew Fabulous Fabric". Their aim, at which they have so wonderfully succeeded, is to take the worry out of making personal fabric-based gifts, items for the home, and so much more. Profusely illustrated throughout, ""Sew Fabulous Fabric" is a beautiful instructional 'how to' book enhanced with clear directions and pictures. Environmentally friendly with great ideas for using every scrap of fabric, "Sew Fabulous Fabric" is especially appropriate for aspiring needleworkers looking for new ways to use their skills, as it is for the fabric crafter learning how to sew, embroider, do patchwork, and applique. Go vintage, or retro, which every way you choose "Sew Fabulous Fabric" will provide the aspiring needlecrafter with a unique collection of irresistible and memorable projects that have a homespun feel. Thoroughly 'user friendly', "Sew Fabulous Fabric" is enthusiastically recommended for anyone wanting to learn to make extraordinarily creative home projects and gifts with the deft use of ordinary fabrics.

The other reviews here are accurate and the cover is the best thing about the book. However, if you're new to sewing and have young children you may be interested because the projects are very juvenile. I'm just glad I didn't pay retail.

This is another book that I just love! The projects are so easy to do! I just loved these flowers shown on the front of the book. I made them to put on my handmade purses & also made pins to wear on my jackets! So many compliments were made to me about them! Fun craft book!

I'd be cautious with purchasing this book. The instructions are poor and the best part of the book was the front cover.

Product was just as described. Excellent service - package was delivered quickly
Would for sure do business with again!
Thanks so much

This book was more european in style that I like. I gave it away because I did not find any designs I wished to use.
