      First off, I'm not a master at sewing. I can hold my own well enough (and my stitches are straight), but I am not a master at this craft. Secondly, my sewing machines are ancient by today's standards, so I have to send them in for services on a regular basis. This reason brings me to why I couldn't make anything to show for my review of 50 Fat Quarter Makes. My one machine went all kinds of crazy just before I received this book for review from the wonderful folks at Penguin Random House SA, and my other machine malfunctioned just as I was about to make a crochet holder out of the book (sometimes my luck is laughable). Nevertheless, even without my tools to create some of the glorious projects inside this book, I still read the patterns and thought about what I would come up with when I was in the mood to sew again.

      50 Fat Quarter Makes isn't perfect, though. The patterns in 50 Quarter Makes, might fall a bit short for some who aren't as versed in sewing. Now, there are patterns in the book (not all of them, only a select few), but the entirety of the patterns are downloadable from a link (provided in the book). I found it a bit of a schlep to figure out, because if my brain functions correctly (highly debatable), then this is what's happening with the patterns: 1.) In order to create one project you will have to print out pretty much all of the patterns found at the link (they're a bit of a mix-match); and 2.) only a few of the patterns are in the book (I wanted to make a crochet hook holder, for obvious reasons, and it wasn't in the book).

      Furthermore, trying to explain to my local fabric stores about fat quarters was... interesting. This is for most a completely foreign concept. Furthermore, they don't sell fat quarters in bundles anywhere in Pretoria as far as I know (and online stores are not only bloody expensive but bloody mad if they think I'm going to pay those prices for fabric), so I had to take the long road. This means, pick a pretty fabric on a roll, drag that (apparently always heavy) roll over to the lady with the scissors and ask for half a meter. Repeat for best results. This process can become lengthy at times, so my advise is to try not to get on the scissor lady's nerves.

      Those things aside, I can honestly say that this book is chock full of great ideas that will inspire you to create something fabulous. The projects are really pretty and they will come out uniquely you, however you make them. 50 Fat Quarter Makes certainly makes a fine addition to any lifestyle bookshelf. So, if you're into DIY and crafting, you should definitely check it out on your next excursion to the bookshop.
