PATTERN RATING:Star Rating. There is a nice variety of patterns here for both cloth and crochet. Some of the designers I recognize, most I do not. Stitch'n Sew didn't hold designer's feet to the fire in conforming to a layout standard, so patterns vary widely in how well marked and how much they have to be resized.

INSTRUCTION RATING:Star Rating. Instructions tend not to be broken down very well and have very little illustration.

SUMMARY- This is actually a magazine and not a book, but it isn't part of the Stitch'n Sew regular series. It doesn't say whether these are reprints from the regular magazine gathered in one place, or whether it's just a special edition they put out of new designs. I'm working on putting together a run of Stitch'n Sew, so I will eventually be able to answer this question for myself. The newsprint it's printed on is verrry cheap, so the pictures are too grainy to be of any real use. An interesting thing I noted that is completely irrelevant to the patterns: Many of the designers personal addresses were published in the magazine with their pattern! You don't dare do that anymore...
