Have you ever bought a craft book online based on the cover and when it's arrived in the mail it turned out to be a total dud?  I've done that a lot.  Especially with the Japanese craft books from yesasia and amazon.jp.  There are a lot of sewing/ craft books out there and it is hard to find one that has the perfect amount of fun projects that are easy yet hip and modern.  I wanted to start a monthly book list of craft books that we've bought and are really worth it.

These are all recent purchases and I can't express how happy I was to peruse each book again and again and again AND again.  A sign of a good book!


Our first set is:

The Liberty Book of Sewing - if your are a fan of Liberty of London, this is a must have in your library.

Colette Sewing Handbook - I love vintage sewing with a modern twist

Lotta Jansdotter Handmade Living - Another Lotta book for the Lotta-fanatic.  This one is hard to put down.

Meet me at Mike's -   I am a BIG BIG fan of Pip Lincolne.  I love all of her books.

Sew La Tea Do -  The second book in the Pip Lincolne series

Make Hey While the Sun Shines - the latest Pip Lincolne book.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and we will see you next year!  Sew Long!
