Love to Sew: Sewing Room Accessories

This book is good for a beginner sewer. Most of the projects can be found online for free. I didn't look the book over carefully enough before I bought it. The directions are clear and easy to understand. The projects are good ones. I will gift my book to a beginner sewer for them to enjoy, If I had not had so many years of sewing experience, I would fully enjoy this book.

There are nice projects in the book. Good detailed instructions. Measurements given are both metric & inches.

great addition to my sewing accessories

A lot of useful items but a lot that a seasoned seamstress already have

Good value and easy to read and follow instructions

Love it. 15 projects that are beautiful and practical. Can not wait to start sewing.

Fun book can’t eait to make some. Well written instructions

I bought this book through my husband's account, so can't verify it on this account. I just received the book today in great condition.I bought the book because I wanted to make some accessories for my sewing room, things that would be helpful, I hoped, in organizing certain tools and cover my machines. Take a good look at the look inside section, to be sure the projects inside are what you want for your room. Color me unimpressed with the cutesy and mishmashed fabric choices - not my style. I still have plans to make a few of the items soon, and perhaps after I do so I may adjust this review. However, even at first runthrough, my nearsighted eyes are having difficulties because the materials lists are in a rather small typefont, making it hard to read.Also, there are NO PATTERNS anywhere in this book, not in small graph form, not in large pull out form. Instead you are given measurements of each piece that is needed in the tiny-print materials section. The semi-curved pieces, you cut out rectangles, then you use a circle template to make a semi-circular shape. Most of the pieces are indeed basic geometric shapes, rectangle, square, semi-circle, circle. But in cutting these shapes in this manner, you waste your fabric that could have lined up in such a way as to save some fabric, which can be very helpful when working with scraps or small amounts of fabrics. So, my suggestion is to make out the oddly shaped pieces as paper patterns of your own, so you can better place pieces on your fabrics.Because of the lack of patterns on graph, with the materials section only listing what you need to cut out, you have no idea exactly how much fabric each project might use. You will have to add up each piece, and estimate how much fabric, wadding/batting or lining material for each project. This will make things more difficult for new sewers that otherwise might find the simple projects of interest. It would have been helpful if there was some sort of estimated fabric amounts for purchasing.So, if the projects seem interesting to you, make sure you buy a sheet magnifier, too. I don't have one, so I will have to work around the tiny font somehow.

I bought this specifically to make the sewing holder on the front cover. Great instructions as usual

No he visto mucho, las explicaciones vienen en ingles, no podia saber lo que ponia.

J'ai feuilleté de nombreux livres en français sur les projets directement liés à l'atelier de couture.C'est le seul qui m'ait donné satisfaction: pas de babioles inutiles. Je n'aime pas vraiment les motifs de tissus, mais ce n'est pas l'essentiel.

This is a great book! The patterns are simple and easy to make.

Faltam moldes para melhor orientação na confecção das peçasMas a obra é boa para quem tem alguma experiência em acessórios
