I have loads of scraps and bits and baubles and as I read through this book I found myself daydreaming which scraps I could use for this project and which one for that project. I even came up with a few ideas of my own I want to experiment with so I gained great inspiration from this book also.
On page 8 you receive the Basics:
Materials matters: This section Covers the types of materials you'll use for the projects in this book.
Sewing gear: This sections will give you a list of items you will need in a basic tool kit.

The first project starts on page 38 and runs through to the last project ending on page 140. On pages 140-143 You are treated to a section about the designers. You will receive each name and their accomplishments. Some of the designers even give their online websites.
