Seize Your Copy I Love Patchwork Conceptualized By Rashida Coleman-Hale Issued In Copy

is a easy introduction to patchwork, but I wasn't impressed or inspired by the patterns included, Likely aimed at more novice tailors than I, It was ok, nothing new but clean design, Plan to make the coaster set Cute, but nothing I want to make at the moment, I like this one a tad more than Zakka Sewing, There are even a couple of projects in it I see myself making, But like Zakka Sewing, I'm glad that my local library has it in their collection,

Mostly eye candy, I would like to do every project in this book, but I just got it and haven't done any yet, Using/inch graph paper to check your/inch seam allowance is genius! I always just guessed at it, but now I know where it really is on my machine, in case I have a fit of perfection.
Way cute things! Still has the print amp linen look like the Zakka books, but I like the projects in this one better, This book has a very similar feel and aesthetic style as the other sewing books by Japanese authors I have already reviewed "Patchwork Style," "Zakka Sewing" and "Linen Cotton Wool" an aesthetic I really like.


This book is a little different because the author is not Japanese but spent some time in Japan studying Zakka sewing, I like the fusion of the natural toned linens with the cheery patchwork, Ms. ColemanHale's projects are unique because I feel she neither overdoes the amount of patchworking nor the loudness of the fabrics she patchworks with,

I especially felt that here were some fresh, new project ideas, Of course, there is the ubiquitous and seemingly mandatoryapron project and coaster project, : The ones most striking to me were:

Little Lamb Softie
Utensil Basket
Travel Sewing Kit
Button Calendar
Flower Mobile

I also appreciated the layout of this book: intro amp techniques in front, great project photography no blurriness or odd models followed by project instructions.


A fun little find! Cute but nothing here I think I would make, This book has nicely detailed instructions for bags, dolls, tablerunners and other small projects, The templates only take up two pages, In all, the book oozes perfection, and cuteness, I copied the idea for a zigzag patter for a placemat I can change to use in a larger quilt, This is a tobuy book if one is interested in those kind of projects, This was the only Zakka book at my local library, so I borrowed it even though Im not really into patchwork, Ive just finished one small project, which I'm really happy with : Instructions and diagrams were crystal clear and the photos were of course very enticing.
nice book, i loved some of the patterns in there, . i enjoyed reading about designs, if now only i had time to quilt, . I love the way Rashida ColemanHale combines linen and beautiful cottons, I've made several of

her projects as gifts, one from this book, and they are always well received, I want to make most of the things in this book patchwork in a clean, modern and graphic way, Love the combining of linen and other materials, Very clean lines Wasn't as inspired by the projects as other Zakka project books, but was still cute, This is based on Zaaka sewing, There are probably only a couple projects I'd do from this, Not really my style of sewing but good information, Offering a modern approach to traditional fabric design, this charming instructional illustrates how to create sophisticated patchwork projects by combining linen and print fabrics using simple quilting procedures.
Presenting a diverse collection of projectsmany inspired by the Japanese zakka aestheticsuch as a travel sewing kit, sewing machine cover, table runner, apron, eco bag, towels, calendar, lap quilt, tote bag, pillowcase, and shoulder bag, all designs are fun, functional, and easy to master.
