Book Reviews of MaryJane's Stitching Room
Book Review: Great primer for crochet and stitching
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very enjoyable book, with projects that are appealing and familiar. It introduced me to tatting, which I am now inspired to learn more about. It also includes a good primer for crochet, which I already know how to do, but it provides some interesting projects for making good use of the skill. The embroidery projects are fine, if a little predictable. I wish the section on cutwork was expanded (as well as tatting).
I do have one beef with the book though; the inclusion of rick-rack earrings without any instruction on making them. The earrings are shown, a story is told about them and a great vintage clip from 1950s instructions is also present but the actual making of the earrings isn't provided.
I would recommend this book to those looking to get their feet wet with handicrafts or for those who want a little essay (and farm girl style) with their craft instructions.
Summary of MaryJane's Stitching Room
Whether you're a farmgirl or just wish you were, MaryJane's Stitching Room is a treasure trove of projects that will have you stitching, crocheting, embroidering, and tatting like one before you know it.Along with more of MaryJane's engaging essays and endearing farmgirl wisdom, you'll find projects that have an irresistible appeal for the contemporary crafter who is intrigued with the delicate handcrafts of yesteryear. MaryJane includes nostalgic patterns with simple step-by-step instructions for projects to wear, for gifts, or to bring down-home charm to any room of the home, all with her unmistakable farmgirl flair.
MaryJane's Stitching Room is a wonderful companion to MaryJane's Ideabook, Cookbook, Lifebook, but it also stands alone as a useful guide to the handiwork of days gone by.
