Time to try something new. I've blown dust off of forgotten books and purchased new ones. I've traded up sewing machines thanks to my mom. I went from antique to outdated; but it works and that is all that matters. :) It looks like Amy Butler has something comparable to Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing for Babies ... so I might have to visit Amazon - yet again.
New Purchase: Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Crafts
New Purchase (waiting arrival): Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing for Baby
Dust Free : Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing
New purchase: Amy Butler's In Stitches
We all know who Martha is. No introduction needed there. I used to despise her. Looking back - I have no idea why. She has an empire that I'd love to be a part of and I'd love to have a craft 'building' just like hers. I currently only get a portion of my office to devote to stashing 'crafts.' I forget where I learned of Lotta Jansdotter, she's Scandinavian and produces great prints and patterns - you can find her work in textile or paper. My cousin, Alyson, introduced me to Amy Butler - she has great fabric and such fun ideas. Not to mention, I love the simplicity in her bright patterns.
Time for some do-it-yourself makeovers and projects. There is nothing better than the positive feeling you have after accomplishing a DIY project. Hell - if they actually turn out - perhaps our Etsy Store might get an update, too. :)

Do not order any more sewing books...repeat: no more sewing books. :)
