Each project includes a techniques list, showing the range of skills you will use for it with page numbers to the corresponding tutorial on each technique. Dennis' instructions are straightforward and easy-to-understand. She includes explanations on sewing mitered corners, scallops, lapped zippers, welting, inverted box pleats and much more.

There are two extras with this book that make it a long-term resource: the yardage guide and the DVD. The last half-dozen pages are filled with formulas to help you figure out just how much fabric to buy if you want to recover you duvet, make a pet bed, sew bench cushions or a tablecoth. The included DVD is a compilation of short videos showing different techniques, particularly helpful for new sewists and for those of us who learn best visually." -- Teresa Coates "FabShopHop Blog"
