This book oooooozes pinkness!! It is one of the reasons I first loved it but I have to admit after 70 pink pages I do feel a bit overcome with cuteness! But still each page and room displayed is adorable and the book itself contains so so many projects I want to make and so much inspiration for decorating my craft area. the first thing I made were the roses and they have turned out wonderfully. However I don't think the book is aimed at a newbie sewer, it certainly does not spoon feed the instru...more
The author presents "over 35 irresistible projects to fall in love with". Projects are very soft and modern, presenting wit lots of pink. I copied a couple of patterns from the library copy, a make-up bag and a large block quilt. Recommended.
Wish I was a sew-er when I look at this book! But the pictures are so pretty and inspiring anyway! If you can sew and like cute, homemade projects, you'll love it!!
lots of country stuff- not my style. there are a few things in here that are a good idea, however, and will attempt to do them when i have some time...
This book is brimming with beautiful things to make for your home. She has done a wonderful job with her photography. It's a lovely book to browse through and come away with lots of inspiration.
Pretty, feminine projects for your home. Especially nice if you are sewing for young girls.

Gorgeous and insanely cute bits and bobs to make for the home or as gifts. I've made loads of things from this book as *shhhhhh* last minute gifts and they've always gone down very well with the recipient. The style is bright, cheery and quirky. My favourites things to make include the scented stuffed strawberries and the carousel horse.
Boy do I have a list of ideas for Christmas gifts from this one! Going to be so much fun. Really, cute stuff in here. I'm only disappointed that there aren't more patterns - clearly there are other things photographed that are homemade but the author chose not to give instructions for them. But they don't look too tough to figure out.
This book was a great find. The instructions are friendly and clear. The dolls are similar so the new seamstress will easily be able to make all of the items in this book. The feeling of happiness and light, love and friendship are spoken clearly in each project. A great "girlfriend get-together" book!
Cute bags! Use near the front door once you've filled will all the random clutter, then make yourself another one to fill. LOL
I like the slippers, strawberries, and the "my house tapestry". Everything in the hobby room is perfect...sigh. Someday. :D

VERY cute, sweet ideas; Very feminine. I really enjoyed looking through these projects.
Cute ideas--we'll do a few. Worth borrowing, but we won't be buying it.
