Aranzi Cute Stuff

I spent a long time trying to pick which of these craft books I should buy, Cute Stuff or Cuter Stuff. I wanted to know how many projects were in the book but everyone sort of skated around the subject. SO for anyone else considering this book you should know, look at the front and back cover of the book, this is the number of projects in this book ALL of them are shown. The Cuter book by contrast just has a bunch of appliques on the covers and projects that might be considered more advanced and original.Not to say this isn't a good book! It's great for inspiration, or if you are an absolute beginner to sewing, the instructions are great! And there is a section at the front of the book that covers all the basic techniques and materials you will need to make pretty much everything in the book. So it gets four stars because it is a good book... but I'm a little more advanced and would have liked some more unique projects. So I guess I will be buying the Cuter Stuff some other time.

I saw this book had a lot of good reviews and the view things I could see on the cover was cute. So ordered it, it came faster then the expected date which is a plus. Upon reading the book it is clear to see (which I should have been more obvious of) that it is cute things. But the cute things seem to be for younger crafters, not so adult-ish. (the few items I saw before buying was tisue case and bottle holder which gave me the impression of a few mor cute adult items.So though all is very cute only a handfull of the items I will be makingincludingBottle holderkey chainstissue casepencil holder pouchembroidery napkinsThough the "cutness" is a little too much for me, they do show you how to make useful items such as napsacks and groccery bags so if you take out some of the cute can work for anyone.But even though it may sound like im saying bad about this book it really is cute and intersting and dont regret buying just thought I would use more things.

Lots of great ideas! The grandkids love the key rings. My next project will be the water bottle holder. Instructions & patterns are easy to follow & turn out great!

i love this book. the projects are simple, and the instructions are very detailed. i haven't had any problems making anything in this book so far. and the results are TOO CUTE! it's a great book for a crafter of any level. :)

Cuter Stuff, the next book is way better. These projects are just okay, and more difficult for kids to learn than in Cuter Stuff

I love this book! It is so cute and easy to manage. I'm working on my first project now - although I don't have too much time to work on it, the book clearly takes you on a step by step process to be able to stop and pick it up whenever you can. So far, I am very satisfied with the book especially without a sewing machine!

They are cute and quite easy to make. Easy to understand instruction, the most important is the pattern, I like them very much!

Lots of cute projects in this book. Easy to follow directions. I am very happy with this book.

I am not great at sewing but this book has answered a lot of my questions. It is written very simply and clearly and it includes patterns and pictures for every step. And it is all very cute!I lent my sewing machine to my best friend ages ago and had to call her urgently as soon as I received the book as I felt I had to start sewing again straight away!!!Another thing I love about this book is that I can follow the exact measurements if I wish or make up my own! Same for the fabric, you can use what you want, it is liberating!!Wonderful and absorbing read!

This book is delightfuly attractive and would make a great gift for young girls, or any one who wants to create cute, character-based Japanese style gifts. Projects include book covers, bags, purses, hair accessories, scarves, etc. I found it useful as an inspirational guide, rather than following the patterns themselves, as they are very simple. The patterns can easily be adapted to make your own designs. If you are an experienced crafter, however, you might find it a bit too simple.

I bought this book for myself and my sister and I were inspired to make some of the designs - she loved it so much that I gave it to her. She has been making cute little purses and selling them since! The instructions are simple and the ideas very cute, and can be adapted to your own style. It's a lovely book to look at too.

Plenty of ideas Step by step guide My only complaint is the approach is clearly aimed at children but if the design were dialled back slightly you wouldn't feel you have to be 12 years old to use it!!

What an amazing book!!! The descriptions and illustrations of how to make each item are very clear and easy to follow. I love this book!!!!
