Sew Glad It's the Weekend...



Wishing you a very happy weekend!  What will you be doing with your weekend?  Unfortunately, both of us are going to be up to our eyeballs in school projects this weekend.  But what we wish we were doing is settling in with one of these fabulous books.  We'd like to pick a project, set up the sewing machine, and have something handmade and fabulous by Sunday!  Alas...

Maybe you'd like to check these books out.  We highly recommend.  The top one is Seams to Me by Anna Maria Horner.  The second is In Stitches by Amy Butler.  The third is Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross.  All three are fantastic for the gal who likes her sewing machine...or the gal who really would like to learn to use a sewing machine!  :)  All three of these books have projects that can easily be started and completed in a weekend.  Imagine the bevy of hostess gifts you could whip up.  Or, get a start on your Christmas gifts (yes, we just said Christmas.  You can never start too early!)  Or, make something cute for your kid's teacher so you can say "thank you" for all their work when the year comes to a close.  Oh, the options are limitless.  So, get out that sewing machine, girls!

Oh, and happy weekend!

A Great Fall Read from Anna Maria Horner

Okay, you domestic divas, if you want an invaluable resource for your "little bag of tricks," you need to check out the new book by Anna Maria Horner. Anna Maria is an amazing lady. She's a busy mom who designs a fabulous fabric line and generously gives creative ideas to those of us who need a little inspiration! Her new book is sure to be full of great ideas. Even if you aren't into sewing, you'll see lots of creativity to incorporate into your home and into your next soiree!
