Re: BOOK GIVEAWAY: "The Colette Sewing Handbook" by Sarai Mitnick

My sister is finally getting the urge to sew. I just bought her a rotary mat/ruler/cutter as a surprise gift. This book would be great for her.

Re: Book Giveaway: "THE VICTORIAN TAILOR" by Jason Maclochlainn

I think this is a wonderfully historic topic. We should always be willing to learn from the past even as we rush forward into the future with technology.

Re: Book Giveaway: "1,000 Clever Sewing Shortcuts & Tips"

I do not recall where I first saw this, but using large washers purchased at the hardware store for pattern weights is the best thing to use with my rotary cutter. Thanks.

Re: Book Giveaway--Ribbon Embroidery: Simple Stitches for Easy Embellishments

This book would be wonderful. I only learned silk ribbon embroidery by picking up a small kit on clearance. The book offers so much more and many beautiful designs.
