Book Reviews of Sew Fast Sew Easy: All You Need to Know When You Start to Sew

Book Review: So-So Projects, Short on Details
Summary: 2 Stars

This was the first book that I owned as a beginning sewer. I made the throw pillows twice and was surprised at how small they were. I would need two on each end of the couch to achieve a balanced look.

I thought that the instructions could have been more detailed - I had trouble applying the piping to the pillow based on the illustrations provided.

Of all the sewing books I've purchased since "Sew Fast, Sew Easy," I'd say that this one is one that I regret the most. I recommend S.E.W. Everything Workshop by Diana Rupp. It contains better instructions, more projects and more general information about sewing.
