Purchase options and add-ons

More than just a pair of days, a weekend is also a state of mind―a feeling of relaxation and freedom to immerse ourselves fully in a favorite activity. In Weekend Sewing, designer Heather Ross presents creative projects for clothing, accessories, and home items that can be made in a weekend or less. Some, like the Quick Garden Gloves and Ruby’s Bloomers, take a few hours; others, like the Weekend-Away Travel Bag and Trapeze Sundress, require a day or two―but all of them capture that weekend feeling.
And because weekends are often the most fun when they’re social, Ross features ideas that encourage us to share our stitching and our time, such as a recipe for soup to simmer while sewing, then serve to guests later in the day, and tips for transporting a sewing machine to a friend’s house for an afternoon of social stitching.
The sewing instructions are beautifully illustrated, and patterns for the projects are included on pullout sheets.

Worth buying and nice to have

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2009

Verified Purchase

I bought this book after reading about it on a blog called "House on Hill Road." It turned out to be a good book to have. The pictures are nice. The projects are doable and down to earth. The style of the book is country-life, simple summer days, easy going style. I think I will probably sew at least half of the items in the book, if not by pattern, then by figuring it out myself based on the instructions. It is very nice that the projects feature simple yet novel sewing techniques, where once you learn them, you can apply them to other sewing projects as well. I feel the book has good inspirational value as well, where I might get ideas from looking at the projects even if I don't sew those exact items. I certainly plan to keep the book and refer to it again and again. That isn't something I say about very many books.

Would be great but just too many mistakes.

I gave this book three stars because I want to love it so much but it really is a bit frustrating. For a-line skirts to be aline they have to be cut at an angle-no such instructions mentioned...trial and error makes a really cute dress(smocked dress pattern). Also the instructions are simple and sometimes a little vague so you just kind of have to think about things and figure them out for yourself. It does remind me quite a bit of vintage patterns-read between the lines! Also there are just so many errors it might not be worth the frustration though you can go on her website and write the errata in! I did that and it does cut down on some frustration, though really, I use this book less for actual patterns and more for ideas I just create myself. That said, I love nearly everything Heather Ross puts out, you just have to give her a little grace, she's more of an artist, than a designer of patterns, at least in this case.

This book has patterns and ideas for all sorts of projects from clothes for women to children's clothes, all the way to home decor. It is good also for inspiration so you can build from the ideas in the book to make your own designs.

I purchased this book with very high hopes and after going through the gorgeous pitures I made a decision on what I wanted to make. Let me say firstly that I am a newbie to sewing. I took a disastrous class but learnt some of the basics but I still consider myself a newbie.

So a few things I notice - one is that the sizes for the adult clothing goes up to a 40 inch chest or so, so I am ruled out right away from making anything for myself. Ok, so then there are patterns for kids that I can make (I have a 6 year old boy and an almost 5 year old girl). So I started the flower girl dress after reading there was some errata on it and I cut the pieces out according to the errata and I attach the top to the skirt - call my daughter in for a fitting and voila! It DOESN'T FIT. There's no way she can get into the dress. I began to wonder how on earth they got the little girl in the pic in the book into hers! I can see the dress working with maybe a zipper in the back.

So, I chalk that up to experience and move on to the pajama bottoms for my son. Trace the pattern out, cut out the pieces and then start to sew and I called him in for a fitting and voila! It DOESN'T FIT! He can't even pull the thing up past his hips. I try not to be disheartened and call my daughter to fit it and she can get it up over her hips but of course now the waist is too big :( even if I pull the elastic in fairly tightly it will not look good.

Ok... the positive parts. I like the way the drawings are laid out - showing how to cut the material and the step by step instructions on how to assemble to garment is a plus (they can be a wee bit clearer at some points as it took rereading a few times to get some bits understood).

So... I'm thinking that a person experienced in all things sewing will be able to spot trouble early on and tweak the patterns and get a really nice end product. For someone like me or someone who has even less sewing experience this book will be a challenge.

Gorgeous, great ideas, but...

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2009

Verified Purchase

I really like this book. It's beautiful and has lots of fun ideas. I am pretty much a beginning seamstress, but my resolution for this year was to learn how to sew (and hopefully knit, though I haven't yet started that adventure) well enough to be able to make most if not all my gifts for the holidays. I bought this because I hoped it would help me in that quest, and I think it will.

The problem is that the children's clothes are really just for very young children. That's great for the youngest in my family, but I'm not sure (being a beginner) exactly how to make them bigger -- how much bigger to make them -- to fit my older (aged 6 and 9, on the tall side) kids or my niece and nephews. But the other, not size-specific projects (like the fat-quarter napkins, the tablecloth, bags, etc.) look doable.

I do think the last chapter has some great tips on sewing. In fact, I wish this were the first sewing book I purchased because of the author's explanation of various tools and techniques. For that, I think it's definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Beautiful and inspiring book!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 19, 2010

This book is great! Yes, some of the projects would take longer than a few hours on the weekend to make, but they are so inspiring you won't mind having to spend two weekends on one of them. I love the way Heather Ross writes, and there are some great recipes for food as well tucked in the book. One of my favourite sewing books (and I have quite a few!) If you want an inspiring introduction to sewing this is the book for you, as it has many different projects (not just children's clothes or bags - this book has a bit of everything in it)

Les projets sont variés et dans beaucoup de taille mais il faut convertir! tout est en yards.

Très bon livre, je n'ai pas été décue du tout. Des projets variés pour toute la famille : accessoires, vêtements, déco, tout y est. J'aime bien le fait que ce ne soit pas seulement des patrons mais aussi des conseils généraux de couture, 2 ou 3 recettes de cuisine...on rentre vraiment dans l'univers de l'auteur. Parfait pour les débutants en couture notamment.
