Inspirational!

This is a great book to get your creativity sparked and moving. Photos are great and the instruction easy. If you are a a fan of Anthropologie and Free People this is the book for you to create your own versions.

Born Again Vintage

This book is great! To really appreciate what this book is you must realize what it isn't. It isn't a step by step guide for a beginning seamstress. It is a book full of ideas and inspiration. Just looking at the pictures gives you new ideas of your own. The book does give some instruction and guidance as to sewing the projects. If you know a little about sewing you can jump in and sew things you never have before. Although I will not make all of the projects, there are some exciting ones I will. I love it when I get new creative ideas just by looking at someone else's work. This book will keep me busy for a long time.

This book was even better than I expected. The ideas were great and the text was very helpful and intelligent. I also enjoyed the photos. I gave a copy of this book to a fiber artist friend who found the whole thing inspirational. I hope this writing team comes out with a follow up book or two!
