About the author
For Debbie Shore, taking a role as a presenter on children's television in 1986 was the unlikely first step to becoming one of the UK's most popular sewing designers. From charming kids on ITV and acting in some of our favourite soaps, she went on to demonstrate sewing products for a shopping channel, before making the leap to designing her own patterns, fabrics, kits and sewing projects. Her prolific output also includes over 26 best-selling sewing books, which feature simple and understandable projects to encourage new sewers to have a go. This has all contributed to elevating her to the position of one of the UK's best-loved pattern designers, and the winner of Craft Influencer of the Year and Social Media Influencer of the Year in the British Sewing Awards 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.
Debbie has over 270,000 subscribers on her award-winning You Tube channel. In 2018, Debbie launched her Half Yard Sewing Club, a monthly subscription service based on the megaselling Half Yard™ series, and won the 2019 IPG Digital Publishing Award.

I bought the book because I wanted to make some accessories for my sewing room, things that would be helpful, I hoped, in organizing certain tools and cover my machines. Take a good look at the look inside section, to be sure the projects inside are what you want for your room. Color me unimpressed with the cutesy and mishmashed fabric choices - not my style. I still have plans to make a few of the items soon, and perhaps after I do so I may adjust this review. However, even at first runthrough, my nearsighted eyes are having difficulties because the materials lists are in a rather small typefont, making it hard to read.
Also, there are NO PATTERNS anywhere in this book, not in small graph form, not in large pull out form. Instead you are given measurements of each piece that is needed in the tiny-print materials section. The semi-curved pieces, you cut out rectangles, then you use a circle template to make a semi-circular shape. Most of the pieces are indeed basic geometric shapes, rectangle, square, semi-circle, circle. But in cutting these shapes in this manner, you waste your fabric that could have lined up in such a way as to save some fabric, which can be very helpful when working with scraps or small amounts of fabrics. So, my suggestion is to make out the oddly shaped pieces as paper patterns of your own, so you can better place pieces on your fabrics.
Because of the lack of patterns on graph, with the materials section only listing what you need to cut out, you have no idea exactly how much fabric each project might use. You will have to add up each piece, and estimate how much fabric, wadding/batting or lining material for each project. This will make things more difficult for new sewers that otherwise might find the simple projects of interest. It would have been helpful if there was some sort of estimated fabric amounts for purchasing.
So, if the projects seem interesting to you, make sure you buy a sheet magnifier, too. I don't have one, so I will have to work around the tiny font somehow.

C'est le seul qui m'ait donné satisfaction: pas de babioles inutiles.
Je n'aime pas vraiment les motifs de tissus, mais ce n'est pas l'essentiel.
Mas a obra é boa para quem tem alguma experiência em acessórios
