If you are new to sewing there are skill-building exercises to help you improve your techniques.

The ingenuity and creativity of the designs in this book is amazing, Packed full of ideas for quick makes, we loved the way this book is organized, there is a Project Selector at the start of the book which allows you to clearly see what each finished project will look like. It then separates the contents into beginner projects through to more complex projects. There is also a useful colour coding on the pages and a techniques section, as well as templates. This is a fabulous book for project and crafting work for all the family. Highly Recommended!
