Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have been following Bernadette on You Tube for quite a while, I think from the beginning. She was carving a turnip with a spoon while talking about sewing and the history of Halloween. She worked so deliberately as she chatted, that it reminded me of the many times when I would sit and talk with others while my hands were busy with some project. This is a beautiful book. The illustrations are gorgeous and the instructions clear. It covers the basics of home sewing but includes details about hand sewing techniques that are not as commonly available. It also, for example, has information on how to determine what fibers are in your fabric, but also why that matters. I think this book will appeal to the many people who have followed her videos and now have a book where those techniques are documented. It should also appeal to people who are thoughtful sewers. Who are interested in why things work the way they do and some of the history behind them. As I write this, just got my pre-ordered copy, there are a lot of reviews in Spanish and Portuguese for some other product, which does not seem to even be a book.
