Product Description
Urban sewing lounges and stitch-centered bridal showers point to the rebirth of sewing. A new generation has finally picked up needle and thread, and they're ready to sew. And why not? With a basic machine and a little know-how, crafters can make stylish and utterly distinct items.
In Sew & Stow: 30 Fun Projects to Carry, Hold, and Organize Your Stuff, Your Home, and Yourself!, Betty Oppenheimer, an avid crafter and sewer, shares 30 of her favorite patterns, including functional items for the home, workshop, camp, and garden. From aprons to hammocks, and from lunch totes to laundry bags, Oppenheimer's projects will help crafters get organized and help the planet with a wide assortment of reusable totes, carry-alls, and shopping bags.
Oppenheimer includes fuss-free patterns for everyday necessities, as well as one-of-a-kind items not often found in sewing books — a log tote for a strapping lumberjack, a stadium seat for the sports enthusiast, and a dog bed for that favorite furry friend. Her projects will appeal to novice and expert crafters alike; each pattern includes step-by-step instructions and illustrations, and each can be completed in just a few hours. Projects are presented with fresh, contemporary fabrics, and are sure to delight even the most trendsetting crafter. With Oppenheimer's help, anyone can turn a swatch of fabric into a practical — and eye-catching — item that can be used again and again.
Sew & Stow includes everything today's sewer needs to move beyond the mass produced, and to create items that are functional, fabulous, and ecofriendly!

I'll do some projects, but was a little disappointed June 25, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I go by the rule of not buying a book unless I'll do at least 3 of the projects in it. This book barely made the cut. I didn't find anything terribly innovative, and the format of the book was not nearly as good as some other craft books I've gotten. All of the pictures are in the front, and the instructions for the projects follow. This results in a lot of flipping back and forth, which is never very handy when it comes to craftiness.
OK but not the greatest June 23, 2008

This book is pretty good but the projects are not as innovative or different as I would like and the instructions are not the clearest.
Same book as Sewing Packs, Pouches, Seats & Sacks May 23, 2008

If you already have Betty Oppenheimer's prior book, "Sewing Packs, Pouches, Seats & Sacks, then don't buy this one!! It is exactly the same book except the projects are renamed, and there is a color photo of each one. I was incredibly disappointed. I was really looking forward to her book and expected new projects. My book is going back.
That being said, if you DON'T have the prior book, and like to make useful items, this is one of the best. Her instructions are very detailed, and will give you the confidence to invent your own projects.
