The projects are very diverse, from a hammock to a knitting needle case and everything in between. I differ with some of the reviewers in that I don't think this book is aimed at beginners at sewing; although everything is clearly laid out, and there is a lot of good information about sewing techniques, most of the projects have many layers of pockets, zippers, unusual shapes, etc. I have been sewing for many years and still learned some new techniques from this book, but the best way to use it is to read it carefully and start with one of the easier projects, then move on to more difficult ones. (They are generally offered in ascending order of difficulty.) The most vaulable part, in my opinion, is the ideas about how to change the patterns to suit your own needs. Don't need a knitting needle case? Then change it into a jewelry case with the author's suggestions and directions. There are lots of similar changeabout ideas, making many more than the 31 projects indicated. My one criticism is a small one: the photos are nice color ones, but the items are made out of canvas and not all of the photos are as attractive as they could be. Some more variation in fabric (such as perhaps satin or a pretty print for the jewelry roll) would have also given sewers more ideas. But this book is a winner, in my opinion, and it makes a great gift for anyone who sews and likes to add a personal touch to projects. I thought the directions were concise and absolutely clear, and I like the drawings that show how to measure and cut. All good advice! ### ⭐⭐⭐ disappointed *by S***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 14, 2010* I couldn't find this book at a local store to preview before buying, so I had to order it through amazon. I was looking forward to a fun project book to make a bag or two, because I enjoy making bags for myself and friends, and with a title like SEW & STOW I figured there would be at least a few fun projects. But I was pretty disappointed after getting the book and paging through it the first time.First, a hammock and a shower curtain are not items with which you can "carry, hold, or organize" things, so I have no idea why they are included in the book. I also felt the after swim wrap, cozy cushion cover, best bedroll ever, and doggone cozy pad were rather out of place in this book. So, almost half of the projects were not projects I was looking or hoping for in a book like this.I am not a super beginner sewer, but I guess I would classify myself as a "late beginner" so I did appreciate the chapter on "techniques and tools for cutting, sewing, and finishing" because I learned a few things that other books glossed over (or that I had glossed over!).As to the patterns themselves, I don't think they were anything new or revolutionary, which is fine. They were at a level that I could follow, which is great, but overall I'm disappointed with the purchase because so few of the patterns are something I actually want to make. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Don't judge a book by its title *by K***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 19, 2012* The title of this book is very misleading. Of the 31 projects, there are only instructions for 27...and of those, only 17 are actually bags or organizers. Probably half of those projects can be found for free with a little time on google. There are no actual patterns; suggested measurements are given, and the instructions are written more like guidelines. The one project I really wanted to make, the hobby tote, does not have any kind of instructions.I definitely do not like the layout of this book; I prefer photos of projects with the project, not lumped in the beginning. I understand cost is sometimes an issue, but I will still dislike the practice. Also, if you don't like/have problems reading pink, skip this book. Directions are printed in black, but the "illustrations" (really amateur sketches) may be difficult to see. If you wear glasses with any kind of tint you won't be able to read it at all.If you are looking for ideas, and are adept at creating your own patterns, this book is fine. If you are looking for step-by-step directions, skip it. I'm still looking for a project book I can actually use.
