Book Reviews of Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing: Patterns and How-To for 24 Fresh and Easy Projects
Book Review: Good for beginners
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this book after spontaneously purchasing a sewing machine. I hadn't sewn since junior high so I was looking for a book with easy beginner projects. I purchased this book along with Sew Everything Workshop by Diana Rupp. It was a good combination. Sew Everything covers more of the basics and mechanics of sewing why Simple Sewing has more projects I wanted to complete.
So far I've made the draft snake and several tote bags. Sorry to disagree with the other reviewer but as someone who lives in an older home, the draft snake is actually quite useful. I was able to complete both the snake and tote bags within a few hours. I thought both projects to be easy to follow and very forgiving. It was easy to correct mistakes and still end up with a useable product.
The book has beautiful photography and the pictures are very inspiring. I find I get excited about sewing my next projects and come up with all sorts of ideas after looking through the book. I'm looking forward to making several of the other bags, the apron, pot holders and overn mitts. It is spiral bound which is very handy. I'm pleased with the purchase.
