Library Journal Review
Blogger and pattern designer Blocher has built her brand on tutorials that make sewing techniques accessible. Her first book features a collection of confidence-building sewing projects targeted toward beginners. The patterns aren't anything innovative-pouches, pillows, baby gear, and small accessories dominate-but Blocher approaches even the simplest design as an opportunity to learn a new skill. Her use of fabric beyond simple quilting cotton or canvas is also a departure from standard beginning-sewing books, with denim, felt, leather, lace, and spandex making appearances. The instructions walk readers through the projects in a clear and concise manner, with illustrations used to supplement the text. VERDICT Blocher's debut will appeal to beginning sewists who prefer a project-based approach to learning new techniques. © Copyright 2017.
