review 1: There are a few cute project ideas in here - the aprons and the reusable sandwich wrap jumped out at me, though I haven't packed a sandwich for lunch in ages. But at the same time, many parts of this book make me want to go run over an endangered animal with an SUV while wearing non-organic cotton clothing. I have a hard time believing that a fiber made of corn polymers is that much more "natural" and earth-friendly than polyester, and I really don't see why anyone would want to make pajamas out of thrift-store sheets from the 70s. Anyway, OK patterns but silly premise.
review 2: A lovely book. Projects have clean lines and bright colours, reminiscient of Ikea funishings. Best part, the book includes a number of projects that use materials (beyond clothing) t... morehat were destined for the landfill. Instructions are detailed, and projects are at a medium level of sewing. Each project is also followed by a profile of a "green" resource. While this information may be helpful and inspiring to some, I found that they read like adverts and was slightly annoying (since I'm project orientated). less
