Super book! September 9, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I love this book! I bought it based mostly on having heard of the author through craft websites, etc. but also on some of the Amazon reviews. Bought it on a whim really, to make up an order to save postage! But absolutely love it! Really good value for money, lots of inspiration and in fact just about every project had me thinking "I'm going to make that"! Have already made the Simple Tote (well, 5 of them actually!) and Doorstop (2!) and am just choosing what to make next. Very easy, step by step stages make every stage of each project crystal-clear. And the results are stylish and practical. Lovely photographs and very clear diagrams illustrate exactly what you're aiming for.
You can guess I like this book! If you're into sewing easy but stylish things for you and your home, then this is the book for you. (Oh, and the patterns are already real-size and on proper papers stored in a neat envelope at the front of the book, ready to cut and use, not those annoying "Just photocopy it to 200%" patterns that lots of sewing books tend to have, so you're ready to sew!
Simple it is September 7, 2008 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Well, if you are looking for something truly inspiring don't bother with this book. It's pretty - as a book. The projects are for someone who is just starting sewing: place mats, tea towels, curtains with pockets... It does not advance to anything more spectacular. Simple it is.

The best thing about this is that is inspired me to get going and sew. It is very straightforward but practical. I have a couple of things that I make for craft fairs, too! I love the Scandinavian-style of the images. And I am taking the time to review, so it must be good.
