I was attracted to the book by its very pretty cover. I wasn't disappointed. Wasinger shares beautiful projects and lovely techniques to alter and embellish a variety of materials and fabrics. If you've ever wondered how you can crinkle fabrics, create pleats (at least three types documented), tufts or frays, embroider without stitches and even make your own fabric (tangle yarn, string and thread into a bird's nest-like "lace" material), this is the book for you.

There are some really beautiful projects in here to make. However, for me at the stage my sewing skills are at, they seem very challenging, time involved, daunting pojects to start. Plus, you have to enlarge the templates in the back by 300% as there are no patterns - a pet peeve of mine.
That being said, the photography is fabulous and the instructions use the photography well to explain how to do some of the trickier work.

this book is a delightful treasure trove of untold crafty wonders. my first project is the lovely blossom-covered clutch on the cover. it's been far too long since i've flexed any sort of creative connective tissue. apologies in advance to my family members: you are all receiving handmade gifts this year.

This book has some of the most unique projects and ideas that I've seen. Several are complicated and will take some time, but those are the kinds of projects I like and appreciate. Found it in the library, but may be purchasing. It's even just fun to look at for inspiration.
It's the added touches that turns something simple into something wow. This book is inspirational for home sewing projects! The directions are simple and easy to follow and the photos are beautiful. It is a bit pricey though...
It not that bad for beginner sewers
