Thus book was perfect to brush up on my sewing skills. Haven't sewn for about 30 years, so it was needed. Nice photos and illustrations help to make it easy to use and understand.

I bought this book after veiwing one pattern I really liked and wanted to make for my daughter.  After receiving the book, there were multiple cute projects to do, all fast, easy ones with VERY CLEAR directions and pictures to follow.  My daughter loved the Coffee Cupboard project I made for her! This book inspired me to order a couple more of Debbie Mumm's books.  I have not been disappointed with any of them!  These books has made my quilting and sewing projects into fun.  (And all the projects are so-o-o-o-o CUTE!)  Thank you Debbie Mumm!

Wonderful pictures of the finished projects.  The instructions were drawings and not actual pictures of the real thing.  All patterns are included but must be traced.  I appreciated the thorough general instruction sections on fabrics, sewing terms, sewing equipment, etc.  Her construction methods are high quality--not make-it-quick and hope it holds together.

I love the projects in this book.  The pictures are beautiful and I find the instructions easy to understand, even
though I am relatively new at sewing. I will sew the easiest, and keep the harder projects for the future.
The author's taste in fabric (plus her own line) is very modern and pretty.
This author has a great blog also!

The fabrics chosen to showcase the styles of dress were not what I would have chose, but the styles are fun I think little girls would like them. There are some great sewing hints to make any of these or other projects and the patterns included are clear with straight forward instructions.

This is a great project book. While there are a couple things you wouldn't use day to day, many of these projects are great for everyday wear. Some could easily be Steampunked if you're into that.

very nice instructions are easy to understand. I got this because I've started sewing but I needed some different ideas of things to make it's great and I got it at a good price too.

100 Pretty Little Projects is a fun look at sewing projects that take little time, and can be made, often, with fabric and supplies you have in your stash. Brought to you by the editors at Lark Craft Books, it has five chapters of ideas and techniques, and a whole set of reproducible templates to create your own versions of the quick projects in the book.

The first chapter is titled "Enjoy," which is a great way to look at these sewing ideas. If you aren't enjoying your sewing and crafting time, it can take forever to complete a creation! This section has some lovely ideas, including pin cushions, mobiles, a fabulous obi belt, and some charming applique. Some of the techniques are new to me, and some are new takes on old treatments, so that there was something for everyone in this chapter, whether new to sewing and crafting, or an old hand at it.

My favorite chapter was the one called "Give." I love to find new ideas for gifts that I can make that are both charming and useful--and this chapter has that in spades. From a darling sewing kit (makes a great wedding shower gift) to the adorable coasters which sew up in a jiffy, you will find items here both easy and more complex, all with a good list of what you will need, what you will do, step by step, and the requisite templates, if necessary. Magnetic bookmarks, a tooth-fairy pillow and a delicate little pillow for carrying bridal rings on a wedding day; the "Give" section gives you all that and more.

Next up is "Use." Clever, tried-and-true techniques, combined with interesting concepts, (nifty fifties potholder anyone?) including the one I tried--the no-sew kitsch idea--a simple little pin cushion using a scrap of fabric, a vintage teacup, eggcup or small bowl, vintage trims and notions and a hot glue gun will have you creating in an instant. Useful next to your chair in the living room, or even in the bathroom where you might need a place to store safety pins, this little project will do the trick.

The last chapter, "Hold," covers all kinds of things that hold other things. From your business cards to your MP3 player, from a stylish tote to match a favorite outfit to ideas for babies, you will find things that will hold your items, tickle your fancy and encourage your creativity.

The book finishes up with pages of easily-copied templates, and a simple index which covers the projects by type; accessories, bags, home decor, keepsakes, pillows, pincushions, potholders, quilts and stuffed toys. It is a simple, user-friendly book, meant to give you ideas, and patterns, to make things for yourself, your family or for gifts that will become treasures. With the holidays on the horizon, this easy-to-follow book is a keeper.

I love this book. I am an experienced professional seamstress and I had so much fun making some of these lovely items in only an hour. I have yet to try the harder projects but I'm excited

Very interesting. Some of the sewing notions I already have. When you have the right tools, it makes your projects go faster. I like that. Thank you.

I did this project with my 9 year old niece. She loved it. It is the type of project where it is okay if your stitches are uneven, not being perfect does not detract. I thought it was a great way to introduce sewing.

These are great to get kids sewing!  My 8 year old daughter needed help with the first one and then did the second one all by herself.  The directions are clear and easy to understand.

I bought my grand child her first sewing machine for Christmas and got this book to help her use it.  It has been very helpful, and it has lots of simple project suggestions for someone just learning to sew.

Read this book cover to cover because the projects listed looked so fun and doable (I'm an advanced beginner) - person with any level of sewing would enjoy it. I have many books of this type on my shelf with a few good projects listed but this book has so many projects to get excited about, I just wasn't sure where to start (as stated in other reviews of this book)!
Would make a great gift for the crafter in your life.
