Book Reviews of Nursery Decor for Beginners (Seams Sew Easy)

Book Review: Good step-by-step guide for nursery decor
Summary: 5 Stars

I have only made the fitted crib sheet from this book so far, but plan to make other items. I have read through the directions for each item, and they all seem to be very appropriate for raw beginners as well as more experienced sewers. I like the fact that the directions for the crib sheet include directions for making a sheet to fit a non-standard sized mattress. I have used these guidelines to make fitted sheets for a pack-n-play with great results. The sheets are fast and easy, and they work up great.

Summary of Nursery Decor for Beginners (Seams Sew Easy)

Nursery Decor for Beginners makes teaching yourself to sew not only easy, but also fun. Written for the absolute beginner, each project includes clearly detailed instructions and easy-to-understand step-by-step photos. Each project introduces and teaches techniques essential to building strong sewing skills. As they progress through the projects, readers will gain confidence as they learn to: measure, cut with accuracy, sew seams, finish edges, insert zippers, make and create all of the elements of a designer nursery at affordable prices.

Highlights: Special binding provides an easy-to-use format that allows the book to lay flat for easy viewing. Nursery accessories can be expensive. Making them yourself saves money and adds a personal touch. All projects are designed and tested by beginning sewers to ensure instructions are clear and complete. Includes a reference section on the basic use of sewing machines. Includes detailed instructions for selecting fabrics, notions, threads, and tools for each project. Quick references at the side of the page help the beginner understand "why." Contains "tips" that help beginners avoid pitfalls. Includes nine complete projects including crib sheets, a crib skirt and a bumper pad, as well as a number of variations to inspire creativity.
