Sewing inspiration
How could I possibly have forgotten to post about my newly arrived sewing inspiration?
Thank goodness for Amazon! Even with the cost of postage, these were WAY cheaper to buy via Amazon and have shipped to Australia than to buy here (I’ve seen some of these books here for about double what I paid, even including the postage).
I am very excited and pleased with all of them! Some are quite simple, which is nice when wanting a quick project, with others more challenging. There are some particularly lovely patterns in the Amy Butler book In Stitches. Sewing with Fabulous Vintage Fabrics is highly inspirational, and a great way of getting ideas for a person like me who is technically creative but bereft of imagination!
My main problem now is one of overwhelming options! So many projects, which to choose? And which am I likely to have time for? Maybe I can incorporate one with the latest Tie one on apron theme – Local Pride.
OMG…. I have just ordered bend the rules sewing and can’t wait to get my hands on it…. I am sooo envious…
luv Abby
Oh Lara, Please please tell me that bend the rules sewing is gorgeous and fabulous- I am an amazon virgin – I have never used it …I just wait and wait and hope and hope. Mind you as a Librarian i do have some local contacts but it still takes ages and ages.
I have heard a lot about simple sewinf to – arrrggghhhhhggjk….the jealousy is eating me up……….
amazon is fantastic…. but I have recently come accross a UK site that has free postage. http://www.bookdepository.co.uk and their collection is just as good as amazon and the postage is pretty quick too. I
Thanks for the tip Donna – I’ll have a look at them! By the way, your blog is terrific – it’s great to have found you.
And Jodie, Bend the Rules Sewing is great (particularly for beginner sewers though). Time for you to check out Amazon and/or Donna’s suggested website – you manage eBay very well, I’m sure you can do these!
Abby, let me know what you think of the book once it arrives! I’m happy!
The Lotta Jansdotter book is on of my FAVOURITES!
