Too Many Children's Projects, Dec 25 2011
By Best Friend - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fabric-by-Fabric One-Yard Wonders: 101 Sewing Projects Using Cottons, Knits, Voiles, Corduroy, Fleece, Flannel, Home Dec, Oilcloth, Wool, and Beyond (Hardcover-spiral)
A decent enough book, but sight unseen, I was really disappointed that there are sooo many projects for babies and children. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that I don't have any little ones to sew for right now. I'd say 85% of the projects are for kids. Wish I had looked at it in a book store before adding it to my wish list.

Disappointing, Dec 16 2011

I loved the original book so I thought I'd like this one too but I was pretty disappointed. Many of the projects are repeats from the previous book. They just changed the dimensions a little and made it in a different fabric. Also, the majority of the projects are baby/toddler items. Based on the titles in the table of contents, it looked like there would be more items for adults and older kids. Most of the items for adults were wristlets and bags that were nearly identical to the ones in the 1st book.
If you don't have the original book, you'll probably like this one. But don't waste your money if you already have the other one.

Beautiful Book with really fun patterns, Jan 31 2012

I've really been enjoying this book so far. I've made a variation on the Bees Knees bag [...], the Cozy Comfort Set, Barnaby Bear [...] and the Gazillions of Gathers Pillow [...]. There are tons of other projects that I'm excited to make! There seem to be many reviewers who think there are too many patterns for kids - I don't necessarily agree. There are plenty of patterns for little ones, but many things I want for myself, too. I checked it out from the local library before deciding that I wanted to own a copy.
