I know these books are 'older' in the world of seamstresses and crafters, but they're newer to me, and I couldn't be happier to own them now. I was checking the first two out of the library often, but now they're sitting next to me on my own shelf. And now I won't feel compelled to trace all of the patterns either!
Simple Sewing with a French Twist by Celine Dupuy

Bend-the-Rules Sewing by Amy Karol
Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross
I was so surprised when I opened the package and found not just one book, but all four books that were on my wish list! I've been reading them constantly and making little (big) lists of all the things I want to make and what fabric I'll use.
I was also very excited to pick up a freecycle drop this week - a woman gave me a box of fabrics (some stretchy knits that I might use for a baby sling...) and a huge bag of yarn. Many project possibilities... If you haven't freecycled yet, I highly recommend it!
Happy Christmas Eve for now - we're away from school and work for another week, so I'll be back to share more soon!
