I have always liked Shambala Publications, and every book I have read, so far, by their artsy imprint, Trumpeter Books (e.g. The Creative Family) I have liked.

I am loving this book. Just started sewing again, and this book has introduced me to the use of natural fabrics and the "upcycling" of re-purposing quailty garments I already own.
lovely book, full of inspiration. not enough words for me to really count as a book read, but a great reference.
Simple patterns. Like choice of fabrics
Pretty, simple patterns. I see a few that I would attempt at some point.
I was so excited about this book until I saw that the only thing I cared to recreate was the Mary Jane slippers.
Beautiful, soothing sense of mood and tone. The essays, though interesting as a concept, were rather dry and I wasn't sure their purpose. I haven't yet tried a project -I suspect, as a non-experienced-sewer, I won't find the projects as quite as easy as they appear. We shall see!
