review 1: Interesting combo of a sewing manual and an upcycling project book. Very friendly and approachable, especially for people who don't want to learn how to sew, per se. It covers hems, replacing zippers, patches and lots of other minor repair topics. I personally don't want to draw even more attention to the hole in my sweater by sewing a beaded flower around it, but this could appeal to a certain kind of maniac crafter/thrifter/frugal person.
review 2: The is the work of a lot of talented folks, but I am not ace at "getting" crafty instructions without adequate photos or diagrams. The ideas are original and fun. As you'll find in a lot of craft and art books, the book tries to recreate the wheel with information on stuff that could be googled or found in an intr... moreo sewing book. For example, the info on clothing care. Some of the example ideas photographed have no instructions. I found so much potential in this book, great ideas, but the book needs more diagrams additional photographs to describe the steps of each project. less
