With a wide array of patterns and applied sewing techniques, Jansdotter has given us 'new sewers' a fresh look onto this awesome craft. The book comes with a separate folder for the huge fantastic way helpful pattern pieces (which you actually don't really need anyway because the charts are so easy and basic, you can measure them out yourself). This book is easy to understand, clean, sleek, fresh, modern and not too sassy/snobby. She (the author) is incredibly sweet as well, which helps a lot as a motivator to actually do these projects because it makes YOU want to be adorable and have these charming sewn objects in your house. also, Super Scandinavian! Super!
