Today I am so excited to share with you a book by Katie Lewis, Simple Sewing: 30 Fast & Easy Projects for Beginners. You may also know her from her lovely blog, The Red Kitchen. She wrote a book! How fun is that!! And a darn tootin’ pretty good book if I do say so myself.
This book is absolutely perfect for the beginning sewist. I so wish she had written it when I started sewing 4 years ago. And even though I am no where near a beginner I really think this book is pretty great. I love the sheer volume of fun and quick projects she put together. Accessories, Baby, Toys…the list goes on, as you can see from the picture above! And I’ll have you know that every project has full color, step-by-step instructions AND 90% of the projects in the book require less than one yard of fabric!
I actually used her Reversible Bib project to make a baby gift for a friend’s friend’s baby shower (haha, did you get that?) It was the easiest bib I’ve ever made, using 2 different cotton fabrics to make it reversible…and good for a gender neutral baby shower gift…and a set of snaps instead of the velcro!
Totally adorable, right?
I paired it with some of the burp cloths I sell in my shop…
And packaged it up all pretty along with a few other fun gifts and sent it on it’s way to it’s new happy home!
