Some Good Ideas
I picked this book up by chance at the library and was pleasantly surprised by some of the easy, pretty ideas in this book. Instructions for a duvet cover, a bias bound blanket, curtains, basket liners, hanging shoe bag, jewel bag, cinch backpack, lots of attractive and practical projects... I have so many favorites. The instructions are very brief, but most of these...

It was such a good idea, too!
Oh, what an attractive idea... finish a worthwhile sewing project in an afternoon. But the follow-through falls very far short of the concept. The so-called step-by-step photos are very unclear. There are text references to points 1, 2, 3 in the photos and the photos have no numbers. (See "Bob's Bias Tape Maker").Plus, why in the world would a round gathered bag...

Oh, what an attractive idea... finish a worthwhile sewing project in an afternoon. But the follow-through falls very far short of the concept. The so-called step-by-step photos are very unclear. There are text references to points 1, 2, 3 in the photos and the photos have no numbers. (See "Bob's Bias Tape Maker").Plus, why in the world would a round gathered bag need grommets if this is a shortcut book? I gave the book two stars because (1) the intention is a great one, and (2) the large photographs of the finished projects are beautiful. Almost made it, but alas, didn't ring the bell.

Instructions for a duvet cover, a bias bound blanket, curtains, basket liners, hanging shoe bag, jewel bag, cinch backpack, lots of attractive and practical projects... I have so many favorites. The instructions are very brief, but most of these projects are so simple, I'm just looking at them as a starting point. Lots of good ideas for gifts in here, and I like the author's fabric suggestions.

This review is from: Sewing Projects in an afternoon (Paperback)
Of all of the quick project/gift ideas books I own, I like this one the best. It is more sewing than craft (my complaint about some of these types of books) and has great, fresh, stylish looking projects. Also, there are projects for beginner to advanced level sewers so the book can grow with your skill level. The book is beautiful to look at and the author selects great fabrics so that the finished projects don't look like something from the local craft show.

The book is in very good shape just as described. Either I missed the detail that it is paperback or it was not listed. I was expecting a hard cover book.I am looking forward to completing some projects soon. Many are very useful and many will make nice gifts. |
