The projects inside are just wonderful! I was excited to receive a copy of the book.
The book includes full size patterns in an envelope that is attached to the inside back cover.
The patterns and instructions for the 30 projects are in the first 117 pages of the book. Each project includes a full size photo of the completed project as well as illustrations that go along with the steps to make them.
Pages 120-142 include Essential Techniques, Embroidery Techniques & Motifs, and Measurement Conversion Chart & Resources.
I have a start on the Circular Rag Rug:
I made the Plastic Bag Dispenser:
This is the project picture from the book:
On the Circular Rag Rug, I thought I had plenty of fabric cut, sewn and made into tubes, but I was wrong. I will complete the rug one day soon. I love how it's turning out.
There are lots of the 30 projects that I want to make, but here are 2 that I plan on making next.

I'd love to have this book because quick projects are always a great thing to have access to for gifts. I love what I've seen so far about this book because the projects are what someone can use in their own homes. I love giving gifts that are usable, rather than just something they can look at.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love all Gooseberry Patch books! And, this book looks like it would provide many projects for gift giving and unique uses around the home. I'm especially intrigued by that circular rag rug. I've never made one, but yours looks really cute! Sew many patterns, so little time...lol! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love these ideas. Taking simple projects that can be completed in a few days is definitely my style.
