Customer Reviews

Great book if you can get past the dated look.

I actually had this book before and sold it. When I wanted to start doing some more home sewing, I couldn't find a newer one that I liked as well. The pictures are VERY dated. You have to look past their horrible fabric choices, but the techniques are really useful.

So many projects for your home!

This is a great book, even now in 2007. Most of the projects are timeless. The projects that don't give dimensions is because the item the project is for, window, chair, bed, are different depending on what you own. But for a good book to give you ideas, it's great. You can always reference another sewing book if you don't know the sewing technique. I plan to do that. The dimensions are given in metric and standard measurements. It has so many projects in it that it would be way too thick if it gave detailed instructions for all of them! I hope you like the book as much as I did.
