(More customer reviews)I absolutely adore this book. I like to take it out to just look through it repeatedly--it inspires me and puts me in a good mood! I made the little field bag and want to make more! The projects have great pictures and clear instructions. The fabrics used are inspiring, but the projects are cool enough to be desireable in regular fabrics (not just awesome Japanese prints!) I also like the way the patterns do not need to be enlarged. In the instructions, the cutting measurements are also assigned a label, so I know which piece will BE what and can choose my fabrics accordingly.
If you like to sew gifts or just stuff for yourself, you will be very pleased with this book!
I have also made several large market bags with vinyl lining to give as gifts. I really appreciate the accurate instructions and useful illustrations. The projects are fairly simple, really useful and will appeal to a variety of people with varying skill levels.
