## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not a sewing guide, but so much more.
*by S***2 on August 4, 2019*

If you want a straight forward instructional sewing book, there are others. This book is a story of healing by taking care of yourself and finding joy in sewing. I completely related to this story, although I have the opposite thyroid issue, Hashimoto’s disease. (HypOthyroidism as opposed to HypErthyroidism and Graves’ disease.) I know exactly how it feels to be so tired, you physically ache and feeling so frustrated that you often find yourself angry. Periods of stress causes autoimmune flares and sewing is so calming, it’s hard to think about other things when I’m working on something. I too have changed my lifestyle to accommodate my thyroid issues but I found I needed an outlet and sewing is it.I loved reading this story and I love the uncomplicated design of the projects included in the book. The fact that the author made them this way feels like a parallel to her simplified life and healthier way of being. Loved it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a lovely book about sewing, life, and soul!
*by A***R on April 20, 2016*

I love this book.:) It is an unusual combination of an artist's personal story and a sewing book, and yet that combination works beautifully. It's hard to describe what category I would put this book into. I love the projects, because although they are not difficult, they are also not what you might find in other sewing books. They have the author's well-developed creative touch, and each project was chosen for a personal reason by this writer, as you will see when you read her story and see what she chose to include. I plan to make several of them. The fabrics chosen for the projects also reflect the artist and provide some guidance in making a more sophisticated product.One brilliant aspect of this book was Not to include patterns, but instead to encourage the readers to follow the directions, which are all just fine, and to draft their own patterns. I don't usually think of sewing books as works of art, but I think this one is. Buy one for yourself, and also for a friend.Theres a lot of soul in this sewing book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely book. Inspiring story and projects.
*by K***Y on March 23, 2024*

Very inspiring story of overcoming life struggles gracefully combined with lovely projects. Loved style and photography.
