Customer Reviews

Would recommend. Makes it easy. Impress your friends.

The only flaw I think it has is that some areas could have used more detail as the book is for beginners. There was at least one place where it said to take the long side, but it really meant the short side of a cut piece of fabric. I think other beginner sewing books describe in more detail, however, with a little guessing and testing, I was able to make a lovely, custom crib set for my baby. I would still highly recommend using this book to make your own baby items for a custom, personalized look and to save lots of money.

Good step-by-step guide for nursery decor

I have only made the fitted crib sheet from this book so far, but plan to make other items. I have read through the directions for each item, and they all seem to be very appropriate for raw beginners as well as more experienced sewers. I like the fact that the directions for the crib sheet include directions for making a sheet to fit a non-standard sized mattress. I have used these guidelines to make fitted sheets for a pack-n-play with great results. The sheets are fast and easy, and they work up great.

Excellent book for beginners

I am a beginner, when it comes to sewing, I have not made anything from this book yet, but I have read through it, and I foune the instructions easy to follow, and all the basics for decorating a nursery are in here. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to make their own nursery decor.

Good book for beginning sewers

This book really is quite good for beginner sewers. The directions are clear and pictures are good to help you along. I would recommend this to anyone who would like to learn more about sewing and make some nice things for a nursery.

Sew Easy

This book is an excellent tool to use in decorating a baby's room. I used it for our first baby's room because I was dissatisfied with the quality of items on the market for crib sets, in particular. As the name implies, it is for beginners, taking you through the steps one at a time, with illustrations along the way. The color pictures come in very handy while sewing and to gather ideas for your nursery.
