Title: Was Rather Underwhelmed
Review: As much as I hate to rain on anyone's parade, this book was not what I expected. Instead of clear, detailed instructions of certain techniques, I found myself frustrated with the graphics that were confusing to decipher and instructions that were not clear.I wish the author has spent a little less time name dropping and more time being thorough in her descriptions. So many techniques were in the book but they seemed to be glossed over quickly instead of giving each of them the space they deserved.Many of the examples used seemed rather dated to me, such as flounces or a cowl/draped neckline. The technique for keying a zipper could have used more space to expand.Additionally it was too bad that the publishers didn't decide to do the book in a hard cover. When you're in the midst of a project with one hand on your fabric and the other in a reference book, you want the chosen pages to remain flat whilst you use them.
