This book really makes me want to break out the sewing machine and try a few projects. The instructions are clear, and the projects are simple without being boring. There are all sorts of ways to dress up the easy patterns, but the clean lines look fine on their own. This book makes it easy for anyone to make their own dresses, skirts, tops and accessories, as it shows how little is actually required for each project and gives quick but insightful advice on how to complete the pattern. I'll be keeping this in mind the next time I feel crafty!
