Stitch it Simple Book Review

This is a (kinda) book review for Stitch it Simple: 25 hand sewn projects to make and share by Beth Sheard. What makes this a "kinda" book review? I wasn't able to access the templates on the digital version that was given for review via NetGalley so I couldn't actually make any of the projects. This would not typically be a problem because this book is sold as a paperback. I still wanted to complete a review, however, because it has some really cute, simple projects.

The beginning of the book features information about supplies, preparing to sew, cutting fabric, and how to do a variety of stitches. The pictures of each stitch help the reader interpret the written directions. This would be a great section for people who need a refresher on stitches or people learning for the first time. It also helps figure out what stitch is most appropriate for the task at hand.  I learned ways to applique and attach binding than what I have done previously.

While I was not able to complete any of the projects without the templates, it seems that the step by step directions are thorough and simple. It also helps that each pattern has pictures to help understand the steps. Patterns include stuffed letters, a butterfly mobile, adorable pillows, and much more. You can check out the book, pictures of the projects in the book, and information about the author here.
