Creative, Fun Process - Beautiful Products! April 10, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
In the 1.3 years that I've had this book, and worked on this craft, I've gotten enormous pleasure combining fabrics and colors and shaping bowls, hot pads, totes, hats and more, most of which I've given to very appreciative friends and relatives.
Susan Breier makes the process easy to undertand and follow, and the bright color photos offer many jumping-off points for individual creativity! My only caveat is that it is imperative to have a heavy-duty sewing machine and thick, sharp needles to get through the layers of fabric and clothesline smoothly. I pretty much destroyed an old Singer Futura I used at the beginning - but liked the craft so much that I bought a refurbished Bernina with a stronger motor and more durable parts, and it handles these projects, over and over, like sewing through butter.
I enjoy that the craft isn't very exacting, like quilting, since I'm not fond of meticulous cutting and sewing tasks. I get loads of compliments on my own pocketbooks and totes that I've created, and it's fun to explain to folks how they're made.
Cord wrap fun March 30, 2008

I bought this book after seeing a demo in a craft group. I am totally in love with the projects in this book. It is a very simple technique with awesome results. If you can put a machine on zigzag stitch then you can make these. Cord, wrap with cloth strips, sew. That easy. A little bit of shaping and holding at an angle can change a flat piece quickly into a bowl or bag. So fun.Takes no time at all to make small projects like coasters to small candy dishes on up to baskets and bags. Great way to use up scraps of fabric too.
Excellent book full of many and varied designs with clear directions! March 27, 2008

This book shows one how to make baskets, purses, bowls and other items from wrapping or sewing cloth in spirals. It has a wide variety of techniques. It's not over the head of a beginner, yet it's varied enough that even an experienced crafter/sewer would find it enlightening. I highly recommend this book!

This was a great book full of great ideas and easy to follow instructions. I made several of these in various sizes and shapes and found it to be extremely simple, even on my very old, cheap sewing machine! All you need is a zigzag stitch! A great way to use up my piles and piles of scraps I have been hanging onto for just the right project!
