Wonderful book May 21, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have just started sewing at age 28 and my first sewing book was "The Sew Everything Workshop" which was a little too childish, but had the bare basics. Lotta's book has great projects that are very simple, stylish, and with good instructions. However, you might need a bare basics book to go with it if you are a very very beginner. There is a great site [...], which gives nice pictures and good advice for the different projects. The one project that many people seem to have trouble with is the Sun hat one. That is the only problem project. Lots of fun.
I love it May 20, 2008 I like its patten, the style is simple and elegant. The instruction is clear, too. It's good for beginner
Lots of easy projects May 7, 2008 I love this book and have made several projects from it. The instructions are easy to understand and the projects are really cute.
Simple Sewing April 24, 2008 Lotta's book offers modern, trendy, and affordable projects. Her patterns are very easy to follow, and can be alatered eaily to be made more personal. I whipped together the "all-day tote" yesterday to have on the plane next week when I go on vacation. Pick some great fabrics and you'll be on your way to some fantastic new things- made by you!!! (Also, these make wonderful, very affordable gifts!)
simple can be good April 16, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is good for the semi-beginner - someone who knows how to work their machine & can thread a needle. It is not so much a "how to sew" but more of a how to sew these specific items...which are very cute. (FYI - IKEA fabric would be fantastic for these designs)If you are not new to sewing you may get bored b/c you'll hardly need the directions - but they are very cute ideas. p.s. if you are looking for an extensive "how to", try S.E.W. (sew everything workshop) by Rupp, its a great resource for nonbeginenrs to.
