Inspirational
The spiral spine makes it easy to use and place on your worktable open on the correct page. I liked the way that the instructions for making the items are under the photo so they don't clutter up the visual aspect of the book. Lovely ideas and most are easy. I have not yet made anything from it but have a number of projects planned. In these recessionary times to be able to make beautiful soft furnishings is a gift. They ideas are all stylish and not too 'crafty' looking.
