Book Reviews of Bend-the-Rules Sewing: The Essential Guide to a Whole New Way to Sew

Book Review: I adore the angry chicken
Summary: 5 Stars

I really love Amy's book. I purchased this item for myself last year. I LOVED it. Its very helpful on giving you sewing tips. Little tricks and short cuts. Its full of patterns and fun ones to make. I have made several of them. I am asking Santa for her other book this year. I hope I get it. Very easy to read. Very informative. If you love her blog you will adore her book.

Summary of Bend-the-Rules Sewing: The Essential Guide to a Whole New Way to Sew

Author Amy Karol, whose Angry Chicken is one of the best-loved craft blogs on the Web, brings stitchers everywhere a down-to-earth introduction to sewing, including thirty projects so adorable and cool they'll inspire anyone to pick up a needle and thread.

Written with Amy's characteristic warmth and flair, you'll find information on basic equipment and supplies, advice on choosing and using fabrics, and a fantastic section on techniques. In addition, Amy walks readers through easy, inspiring patterns designed for the fashion-savvy crafter. Playful, modern projects, which include pillows, aprons, and purses, help novices master sewing skills while providing immediate sewing gratification-and confidence. Best of all, Amy explains what's easy, what's hard, and when not to sweat the small stuff.

With its best-friend tone, solid reference section, and supercute projects, this is the introduction to sewing that you won't want to be without.
