Bend the Rules with Fabric: Fun Sewing Projects with Stencils, Stamps, Dye, Photo Transfers, Silk Screening, and More by Amy Karol
Very creative, and all the techniques are fully explained, with variations, materials, etc being discussed as well as the basics. I thought the aunt and uncle fabric dolls with fabric printed photo heads were especially nifty. A great book to stimulate my creativity, and I definitely enjoyed Karol's quirky handmade style, but not a book so indispensably useful that I'd ever consider buying it.
Karol's book is fantastic for beginners as well as seasoned sew-ers. Her projects can be done as directed or offer a great jumping off point for your own creativity.
Nonfiction; crafts/sewing. Excellent book for the modern, beginning sewer, with a variety of wonderful projects that even more expert stitchers will want to try. I especially like the pocket tutorials and easy puppet theater.
Wonderful book! A nice variety of projects, and the patterns are easy to follow with good instructions. Amy's a good writer, and I can't wait to see her next book.
