CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Oh sew fabulous! -
This is a stunningly fabulous book. I LOVE it. Only got it last week so I haven't made anything but I'm really looking forward to getting started. The pictures and descriptions are great and it's a really modern book for all you crafty goddesses out there. I'll soon have my makes on my michellemadethis.blogspot :o)

The patterns in this book are repetitious and as someone else pointed out involve just recovering household items (lampshades, a hammock, flip flops and several others). Spiral bound would indeed be helpful and I found it a bit confusing as a beginning sewer. Also, there's only one project for clothing despite the tag line.
Not your grandma's sewing projects... -
This is a beautiful book, full of super-chic projects. It includes very simple patterns, and some that are very advanced. It will not teach a novice how to use a sewing machine, but does illustrate simple hand-stitches if you are a beginner. The pictures are lovely to look at, and the variety of ideas are sure to inspire.
Sweet book -
This book is very pretty and a nice addition to a collection of sewing books. Although, there are many things I probably will not be making in this book, it is chock full of idea I may want to come back to later.

For all home decor needs by Star City Home DecorReally want to give this 5 stars! -
This book is SO pretty and is FULL of cute projects. I cannot give it 5 stars, though I want to. Why? There are a few projects, trench coat, bathrobe, etc where you don't learn how to make the project, you learn how to embellish it. Trench coat and bathrobe are in the materials list! Also, the photos (though gorgeous) sometimes show only a fraction of the finished piece. And there aren't always finished dimensions for the projects. There is a definate learning curve.
That's all I can complain about... It is otherwise lovely. I am off to sew a cute wool beret!
