Peppermint Street Boutique - January 12th, 2012

I've been sewing for about 30 years, but still found things I didn't know! I've struggled with zippers for years, but the section on zipper how-to was excellent!

I absolutely love this book. It is stuffed full of great tips that have saved me a ton of time and energy! The topstitching and quick pants tips are priceless. I highly recommend this book to all sewers, both the beginners and experienced! I can't wait for your next title :D

Heather Flores - August 1st, 2011

LOVE this ebook! If I only purchased one ebook this month, it would have to be this one! Just the serger tips alone made the purchase worthwhile. Directions were very conversational - indeed, I felt as if she was sitting at my kitchen table with a cup of coffee explaining everything to me! This was EXACTLY what I was looking for to take my creativity "one step further." If you want to go from "How cute!" to "Where did you find that fabulous outfit!?" then THIS is the ebook to get! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Heather in Colorado

LORA - August 1st, 2011

The ebook of 2008! Everthing you need to know AND MORE! You don't realize how much MORE there is to learn, especially when you consider yourself a pretty good seamstress. Kudos to Sandy on her super human sewing strategies :)

Brenda - August 1st, 2011

Wow! I was never one to read directions because it just seemed to confusing. This ebook was written in my kind of language:) Easy to understand and simple illistrations to follow. There were so many great tricks, my favotrite being the zipper technique. Thanks Sandy, can't wait for your next book.

Sandy Higgins - August 1st, 2011

I would just like to respond to the comment by Laura. I offered to address her concerns and answer her questions by email, but did not receive a response. The description for this ebook states there are 5 illustrations and 50 photographs which is an accurate description. Our web address (www.crackerjackshack.com) is very visible throughout this ebook and our telephone number is on our site as well. We can easily be contacted, but Laura chose not to do so. I did everything I could've done to satisfy this customer and am very sorry she was disappointed with her purchase. I would still be happy to refund her money or assist her with any part of this ebook if given the opportunity.

Edna T - August 1st, 2011

Great ebook. Very well done. Great tips for beginner or experienced sewer. Very easy to follow and totally worth the purchase price. THANK YOU

Orene Hall - August 1st, 2011

I'm sooo glad I found this website! I finally decided to purchase a e-book. I to have been sewing for years and years, now I'm sewing children's clothing and this booklet is just what I needed! I thank you for your information. I will be ordering many more of your booklets in the very near future.

Melissa Boclair - August 1st, 2011

I just bought the book an hour ago over frustration with making pants- the tips alone on no bulge waist and sewing perfect pants make the price for this more than worth it!! I have not even looked at the other tips yet! Great book- breaks everything down very simple. Worth the money.

Laura - August 1st, 2011

Overall an ok, but not a spectacular purchase. The part on the seamstress pants & which machine feet to use was helpful. My main complaint is the section on how to cut your own bias tape from fabric is horrible. The instructions are vague and drawn (no photographs in this section) and it is very confusing. Also, the author doesn't include any email to send a question. I finally gave up and found an online free tutorial which was very helpful. The author could definitely use more explanation & photographs on the cutting your own bias tape section.

Cheryl Larrabee - August 1st, 2011

I've been sewing 40 years and still found out things that I didn't know. You really need this book!! Worth much more than the price!!! Awesome!!!!

melissa moody - August 1st, 2011

Love, love, love this book! My only complaint is that I put off purchasing it! The tip on making ruffles more than compensated for the purchase price. This is a great read for beginner sewers or those with a little more knowledge - I learned something new...and the author is correct ~ these "secrets" will save you time!
