Good book. Geared toward hand sewing, but you can do on machine. Instructions clear. Patterns included.

Very disappointing. Childish designs and patterns printed over other patterns so that they fit on one page. How is that useful?

Nice style but patterns are difficult to read for a beginner who hasn't learned some of the shorthand of pattern reading.

Great for organics

Love this book!!!
