My Sewing/Craft books shelf

For proof of meeting the Sewing/Craft books challenge, I thought I'd take photo and post it here to hold myself accountable!


Nice collection, eh?

I've been referring to some books for a while however I have not really used much from most of the books so the challenge is just what I needed.

I've been getting lots of nice comments about the skirt I made for my girl, someone asked if I plan to sell some... lol!

Next project will be from Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Craft, especially the one with pinboard! Give me a week or so to gather materials and when it's all done, I'll post photos here then.

Till then, cheers!

You sure it's June already?

Ack!

Oh well... My excuse is that I blinked... would you accept that? :D

Anyway, I've been surfing, creating, cleaning, planting, dreaming, reading and such for few months. And I'm working on a skirt for Jackie and this comes up in a good time cos of this:




Basically the Challenge is to use up a pattern or idea from each sewing book we've got on the shelf every month to make it worthwhile to keep that book on shelf.

What do you think? Could I do it?

Well at the moment, I've got this book:

And I've picked a skirt pattern called Insa Skirt which is double layered skirt for my girl. When it's done, I'll take a photo of it. Looks great at the moment anyway.

I will make a tutorial next week on a pouch I made other month and another tutorial on a sandwich bag I created last year to sell at a market which didn't sell as well as I thought, but my kids and I love them. Go figure!

Cheers till later!
