Book Reviews of Sew & Go: Easy Convertible Projects for the Active Lifestyle (Creative Machine Arts Series.)
Book Review: Easiest of all her books to understand.
Summary: 4 Stars
Ms. Hubble has lots of great travel packing tips in this book, including how to tie a sarong. The patterns are intriguing--however, the directions are very sparse, for the most part. If you are not an expert seamstress, you will need help trying to figure out some of the directions. That said, several of the projects in this book can be sewn by the beginner.
Her other books have good patterns too, but even worse directions. Look at this book first before going to the others.
Summary of Sew & Go: Easy Convertible Projects for the Active Lifestyle (Creative Machine Arts Series.)
Author Jasmine Hubble believes we'd all have more fun if we could be ready to take a jaunt at a moment's notice, and to that end she's filled her book with clever, lighthearted designs for extremely useful items that are often dual-purpose. More than 20 projects include beach towels and picnic blankets that double as carry sacks; a kid's cap that becomes a little pouch; a fanny pack that transforms into a full-size rain poncho; and a travel pillow that converts into a rest mat. There are also loads of tips on smart packing and on assembling "convenience kits" for traveling (filled with hand-laundry supplies or car-trip stuff, for instance). All the sewing is very easy, and patterns and templates are included. Hubble's credentials say it all: she designs and sells "practical patterns with as few pieces as possible." --Amy HandyGeneral Books
