I bought this specifically to make the cupcake hat but all of the patterns are so cute, I will have to try them also.

When purchasing ANY book full price in a brick/mortar store, I am extremely picky about the publication.  After all, many books can be obtained online in a perfectly good used condition for much less than new price.  So, after reading it and examining the patterns for over an hour while sitting inside the store, I decided it was worth every penny.

With that said, I continue to be delighted at the fresh, female, timeless and relatively easy to construct craft items in Tone's book.  The directions are not for a true beginner seamstress, but that is obvious when one examines the book.  Every room of the house can be freshened up with one or more of the adorable projects.  Bamboo handles and something akin to a pillowcase form an adorable handbag, total time an hour and a half.  Small to large zippered and drawstring bags can be made with an endless variety of fabrics, reflecting the crafters personal taste and style.  Stuffed toys and dolls can be made as simple or complex as desired.  All the projects I have made have been truely satisfying.

For anyone that loves the cozy shabby pink look in decorating, this book will be one of your favorites for a long, long time.

This is an awesome bunch of patterns - lots of little quick stuff for gifts, some really cool corners, some silly pieces, fan lamps, and loads of holiday designs, and I'm having lots of fun with it.  I'm going to get more of their pattern CD's and make a library, I think.

I just got my copy in the mail and am excited about making just about all of the sweaters in it.  They are very basic and not trendy at all, yet they look very much like what I'd buy in any department store today.  The patterns look very simple to make and the instructions tell you what weight of yarn to buy if you don't want to use what the pattern calls for.  I would imagine that the designs will be in style for many years and I'm glad to have this in my library.

I bought this set as a gift and the patterns were so fun in person!  I use Copper Pearl bibs for my baby and I love them!

It is so rare to find a book of patterns that truly encompasses women of multiple sizes.  The sweaters in this book go range from 31" to 55" bust in most cases.  All of the patterns are easy to follow and are beautiful.  Any area that is charted is also written out.  The 22 patterns include hats, scarves, cowls, sweaters, leg warmers, shawls and mittens.  There's a mix of everything...they even put in a beautiful blanket pattern.

There's a great, fully illustrated glossary of terms at the back of the book, too, which is convenient because then you are not searching the web mid-project to attempt to remember how to do something.

I just needed a pattern for Thomas the Tank; however, I ended up with a plethora of patterns and th book is full of many many children's favorite characters. I love this!

This book is really fabulous. First of all, no, the patterns aren't novel. They are, after all, meant to mimic the style of a certain time period. That said, if you're looking for patterns for that mid-century period, these are great. It can be hard to find casual-style patterns in this style.

I also really like the detailed sewing instructions. For example, a lot of books and patterns tell you to make a muslin and adjust the pattern to fit you. She actually details how to do that, for each type of clothing item. Each particular pattern has variations, and she goes through exactly how to adapt them. I love that.

The book is fantastic for showing you how to create clothing that's really professional and finished, but quickly. What I have sewn from this book was impossible to differentiate from a store-bought item. It's from following the instructions. I can't recommend the book highly enough.

After spending hours online, I found reading Crochet Animal Rugs like a sorbet for the mind. It is adorable! This super fun book features more than 20 crochet patterns for rugs and matching accessories. The giraffe security blanket is soooooo cute! Also includes a delightful cat, monkey, elephant, dinosaur, bear, and crab, each with a matching pillow and accessory, each as darling as the next. 5/5

Thanks to F + W Media and NetGalley for the ARC. Opinions are mine.

I bought this book right away when I saw all the Farbenmix/Tantrum patterns that were included. I had been wanting to buy the Feliz dress pattern and was so glad I waited. What a bargain! I am super pleased with the book with a few minor exceptions. The Feliz dress was everything I hoped for and more. It fits well and is super twirly for little girls. Best of all there are endless possiblites to customize this dress. The book provides some terrific inspriration for personalizing and embellishing your work. I have found that the local fabric store does not sell any of the exciting cloth or trims seen in the book, Etsy is a great resource if you want similar products. I also have made a few versions of the Insa skirt, only draw back here is it seemed to run small. I have only made the Manhattan dress as a top so far and discovered it ran VERY small also...so becareful with sizing in this book. The Avalon jacket turned out great, again lots of room to be creative! If you like leaving your own personal mark on your work this book will give you loads of ideas and maybe push you to be a little more wild.

I checked this book out from the library & liked it so much that I bought it. There are so many patterns that I can't wait to knit. The patterns I have knitted were well- written, easy to follow, & knitted up really cute.

My fianc bought this for me on his account. Absolutely  love the patterns. I like that it's got several types of housewares item patterns. Not just scarves like her last book. Excited to make the donut pouf and the banana split pillow!

There are so many fantastic patterns in this book that I don't know where to start. Actually, the pattern on the cover doesn't do it justice. Good instructions and pictures.

I purchased a bunch of books hoping to find some cute sweaters to knit for my little dog.  This is the only book that has so many patterns bookmarked!  I love almost all of the sweaters in the book, they are all cute and practical.  Plus she uses noro yarns which i love, so i will be making lots of sweaters from this book.  If you are looking for a great assortment of sweaters get this book, it's a great bargain!
