Customer Reviews

Lots of unique designs w/ an interesting time line for sew.

I have many sewing books, this is my first by this author. By having seen the book I am impressed with the way she addresses several important issues regarding sewing besides just the exact Title of the book. I deducted 1 star for lack of ANY kind of pattern layout but commend the way it is done. I like seeing the work of the various artists she used and the idea of her timeline suggestions. I am anxious to start one of these projects and try it in the time she allots and see how I do comparitively. I am also very pleased to find a book about a subject that is so current and a type of sewing that is extremely popular right now, so one can feel quite chic in a 'modern' style garment. The author also has several styles included that will be useful for many years and combine with current wardrobe selections.
