I really enjoy the projects in this book. I have made many of the projects. When I made the travelling pillow that rolls out to a rest mat for my daughter and her friend I used flat sheets that I didn't have fitted shees to match any more. The girls love them. They have taken the pillows on vacation, on over nights and to summer camps. In using the flat sheets, I was able to recycle and save money. The sheets are more durable that some of the fabrics too because they are made that way. I encourage every sewer to buy and use this book. Use your imagination throughout too. The projects and gifts made from this book are originals because you make them. Many people like the personal gift and the thought and time put into it. So go and sew!

Ms. Hubble has lots of great travel packing tips in this book, including how to tie a sarong. The patterns are intriguing--however, the directions are very sparse, for the most part. If you are not an expert seamstress, you will need help trying to figure out some of the directions. That said, several of the projects in this book can be sewn by the beginner.

Her other books have good patterns too, but even worse directions. Look at this book first before going to the others.
