Book Reviews of Sew Pretty Homestyle
Book Review: Delightful
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is an amazing compilation of beautiful crafts and decoration items. Every page invites you to get the fabrics and start sewing! (Note that although the book looks very pinkish, the crafts could actually be as beautiful with any fabric). The pieces are very pretty, well done and presented with a lot of taste and style. The embroideries are very delicate. You will find gifts ideas for all your family and friends, as well as many decoration pieces for your own home.
The first chapter of the book goes over the techniques, then the projects are organized per room (chapters). The Entrance Hall chapter contains Floor Mats, Slippers, Bags...; the Kitchen chapter contains a pastry panel, beautiful decorative strawberries...; the Dining Room chapter covers a cute coffee pot dress, Table Mats, and Chair Cushions; the Living Room has another cute tapestry and some cure angels/dolls. The Conservatory will make you wish to collect these pears, roses and Garden Angels. The Hobby Room chapters will delight the sewing fan with Needle Case, Small Button Bagsot water Bottle Cover, Sleeping Masks and Puches, and finally, the Children's room gives you Teddy bears and Strawberry Cushions. The book ends with address and pattern pages.
The explanations are nicely described and easy to follow (especially with the illustrations that go with them). I would not recommend this book to a person who just started to sew because the crafts are not marked with difficulty rating. However it would work well for an intermediate level (and above).
I have only one regret about this book, it is too short. When you close it at the end, you wish to continue to read it. This is one of the most cherished books I have on my shelves.
