 Love It! March 22, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I absolutely love this book! It has adorable illustrations, beautiful photos, and creative patterns. The idea from this book that stands out to me is that anyone can sew, and sewing doesn't have to be perfect. True, it may seem too basic to some, and true, it has a few pattern flaws. It was easy to find corrections online ( http://www.flickr.com/groups/340229@N25/discuss/72157601678980590/ ). I learned a lot about "going with the flow" when I'm sewing--and making simple projects my own by adding my own creativity. In addition to this book, Amy's blog (www.angrychicken.typepad.com) and online photo sharing group on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/groups/340229@N25/) would inspire just about anybody. 5 stars!
 Pretty Pictures, but short on "how to" details March 15, 2008

I have the same issues with the directions that many of the other reviewers have. I'm a relative novice when it comes to sewing. I just struggled with the directions. Since this book emphasized that many of the projects were at a beginner level, I just assumed that the problem was my lack of experience. I showed the book to my mom, a experienced seamstress and she told me that a lot of information was left out. If you didn't know any better, it would appear quite confusing. In many cases, I felt like the directions were rushed and the drawings weren't very clear. I wouldn't recommend this to a beginner, but I do think someone with more sewing experience would find it of interest
Beautiful, Simple and fun March 8, 2008
This book is great. It is exactly what I was looking for.I don't understand why some people bought it, and were expecting "advanced" tips. It clearly states great for the beginner. It simplified many of my sewing hang ups, and had very easy to follow directions. I think all of the projects are adorable and will even make some great gifts. I'm very pleased with this purchase and look forward to making many great projects and have many ideas from the book.
 Good, but very very basic February 15, 2008

This is a visually pleasing book. The layout and design first rate.
Unfortunately, it is a very very basic book. Not really about an "essential guide to a whole new way of sewing", more like a "you've never sewed a stitch in your life and want to make something cool guide"
Nothing really wrong with the book per se, just not great.
Cute, but could really use more February 9, 2008

This book does have some cute projects in it, but there are online tutorials and patterns for many similar items. The illustrations are hand-drawn as are the patterns in the back. I was really disappointed to find that most of the patterns need to be enlarged. I really hate this because (1) I can't make the project on a whim and (2) I almost damage the spine of a book trying to make it lay flat. The photography in the book is wonderful and it does have some cute very beginner like projects.
