review 1: One note up front: this book is aimed at people with sewing machines, not people who are hand stitching. I also wouldn't really call it a beginner's book. Maybe an intermediate book for people who have a little experience already with their machines. This definitely isn't a here's-a-pattern-now-you-make-it kind of book. It encourages free form sewing, attitude, and adventure. There are some interesting projects. Each project is accompanied by easy to follow numbered step instructions and color photographs of the finished project and of various steps. You'll also find that each project's level of ease, time commitment, cost, and materials are untraditional, with designations such as "this one's a breeze", "one lazy Sunday", "same as root beer floats for two."I'd recommend t... morehis book to an edgy sewer that has some experience under her/his belt and is looking for some fun alternative projects.
review 2: I made the bike bags on the cover and they came out adorable! The instructions were clear and easy to follow. There was a minor error in the materials list for the bike bags - the velcro is 3/4" not 1/2". And sewing with oilcloth was surprisingly easy and I probably wouldn't have done it without the encouragement of this book.I want to try more of these projects - I like Wasinger's use of upholstery webbing in pillows and pockets. less
