One of the most important things to remember after you purchase your book, is to read "The Helpful Hints" page and practice  spray painting on scrapes of fabric or even a paper towel. Since this is a water based paint you are applying to fabric, you have to go easy and not over-wet the fabric and cause more of a water stain then a "baked" look. When you sew the French Bread pattern make sure you put most of the gathers at the end of the bread(see instructions) or you will end up with more of a pillow than a bread.
