Several really cute projects here. I found the various pouches the most useful or interesting but there are also projects for little kid gifts and table linens. Each project has a big full-color photo of the finished item and several smaller illustrations of the steps in making them. Going into these with a willingness to make plenty of mistakes will help, since some of the instructions slightly glide over things that beginners might not know but I think for the most part the author covers the details well.
I think I wil use this book to remind me how to sew. It's been so long since I have used my sewing machine I think it is best to go back to some basics and these are fun and useful.
