review 1: I actually bought a copy of this one and I don't regret it at all! You do have to enlarge most of the patterns before using them, which is always annoying, but I just used my scanner/printer to do it. So far I have made the bunny wallet, which has since become my main wallet (I changed it to an applique of a dog though) and the bunny pencil case (adorable! have gotten many compliments).I also like the book cover pattern, which turned out great and is particularly nice because they give you detailed instructions for resizing the template to fit any book.
review 2: ack! so. many. cute. projects! i love to browse through the eye candy that is japanese craft books and here is one, presented in english, in a more familiar american layout, but with the same design ... morecharacteristics that i love about japanese crafts. i'm especially fond of the bunny wallet and the sashiko tea towel (actually, i love all of the sashiko work. i never knew what it was called, but it's beautiful and i'm going to have to try it now for myself.) Also liked the linen basket, the bunko-bon book cover and the cross tote bag. hmmmmm..... this one may have to go on my christmas wish list. less
