I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We spent much of it on the beach enjoying a most beautiful day. We don't do turkey, but we certainly didn't starve. ;)
It was so surreal when I brought the mail in from the mailbox, opened the manilla envelope to see me in a book!
It's a book Just For You. Not your kids, but you. All types of projects, from clothes to accessories to phone covers. It's subtitled Selfish Sewing, but I don't think it's selfish to sew for one's self. It's important to do, in fact!
My project in the book is a faux leather belt, and you can see my silly fabric peeking bio picture. It's not quite as professional as everyone else, but that's how I am, right? ;) There are projects that just require measuring and there is also a sheet of patterns in the back for the more complex projects, something for everyone's skill level. :)
You can find it on Amazon and you can also win a copy right here! You can also win fabric for 4 projects over here.

I love seeing all the clothes you make whether it's for you or your kids! Everything always looks fun and has details that surprise me!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time reading your blog,but from reading the other comments I would enjoy anything you post. Thank You.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite posts are how to's of sewing (I'm a beginner). I love skirts, and handbags so I would love to see lots of those. This is my first time here, I like your blog and have subscribed by email. Have a great day.

I love seeing your posts about the beautiful clothes you make for yourself and your children. I also love when you post the different techniques you use on the clothes you make.
ReplyDeleteI love tutorials on just about anything so I can learn and expand my skills. How about a tute on a doggie coat? I have a new dog this year and she gets so cold outside! I'd really like to make something special for her. Or, how about how to choose fabrics to make a quilt? I'd like to see how others choose colors and patterns w/o the use of a bundle of pre-cuts.
ReplyDeleteI like how your personality comes out in what you write! You write with lots of joy, and enjoyment of life. I can't think of anything in particular I think is missing. For me, the tone of your writing is more important than the content, and you've got both! sarah@forrussia.org
ReplyDeleteI enjoy everything you do, but especially love when you sew.
ReplyDeleteYour photography is also divine!
I love a variety: sewing and everyday life

ReplyDeleteAs for the blog, I like what you do now. I enjoy your family and your sewing adventures!
I love to see tutorials. While it's nice to see what other people make, sometimes it is not always obvious how it was put together.
ReplyDeleteI love to see the things you sew for yourself!
