As good a book as any for a true beginner. The "no patterns" thing is accomplished by using only squares and shapes easily cut from squares. I didn't find any of the patterns that interesting or felt like "oooo, I need to make that!" but these are really more about building skills than usefulness/beauty.
Great book for a beginner who doesn't want to figure out patterns.
I have watched her YouTube videos as well -she is very thorough in her explanations and examples. This was a nice supplement to her videos. She had examples for hair scrunches, Kleenex holders, organizers, etc. All smaller projects to help encourage a new sewist or one who needs a few quick sews. Colorful pictures with step by step directions.
I love patternless sewing and often alter sewing patterns on the fly so this book is perfect for me. There are lots of small projects here that would be great for a beginner but also good for a more experienced sewist. You can really use up those scraps you accumulate. Nothing here wanted me to pull out my sewing machine immediately, but it did inspire.
