I will start out by saying that this book is awesome for the person who has never ventured near a tee with scissors and razor blade in hand. The instructions are very clear and most often simple and easy to follow. Most of the designs are fairly basic and don't really require any previous sewing experience, though I would say if you want to get into any major restructuring of anything, sewing experience would be very helpful. My only issue with this book is the sizing issue I have run into with most of the patterns. I feel that the sizing in most patterns is for a flat-chested, less-shapely woman. I have had to adjust every shirt and skirt I have made. I am a size 8 or 10 and happen to be a bit busty (34DD) and have had issues with every top being too small in the bust. I would recommend this book to someone who is just discovering how fun it can be to recreate one's wardrobe, but for someone who has been doing it for a while may find the suggestions/patterns a bit been-there-done-that.
