Costumer Reviews

I was looking for a book that had a variety of beautiful, useful and achievable projects for a very new starter to sewing. This is just the thing! With enclosed patterns, clear directions and projects that enable me to develop a selection of skills, I can't wait to get started. I am a person who will quickly become disheartened if do not achieve the result I want, but I am certain that some of the simpler but very effective projects will spur me on to greater things. My mum is excellent with the sewing machine but I am certain she would also like some of these very pretty projects including a mouse pin cushion, so I think there is something in it for everyone. Buy it - I'm sure you will not be disappointed x

This book is filled with wonderful, easy projects that even beginning sewers can make. The pattern pieces are included in a pocket on the front cover and they are very simple. I made the Market Bag in about two hours, start to finish. I can't wait to start on my next project! Also this book has a chipboard cover and is spiral bound so it will lay flat. Wonderful book full of projects everyone can use or gift.
