review 1: This book newly added to my collection of crafty titles is one of my absolute favorites. It combines clear instruction with fun designs, leaving you free to fly creatively. I love that the folks who are photographed wearing various projects are not "model perfect" but instead are human-shaped and thus beautiful. I am also thrilled to have an index of careful instructions on how to size these designs (and any the reader may come up with using these designs as a base) for those who are human-shaped. I have been looking for such a book for a long time. Yay!

Loved the pattern for a heavy knit dress with 3/4 lengths sleeves. :) Simple and easy.

I didn't realize how much sewing was involved - not for me.
