    Has anyone got the Amy Butler In Stitches book? Ive ordered it from my library but not sure if its more interior design stuff rather than sewing projects. It doesnt tell you much in the library descriptions...

    I have just read reviews on Amazon about this book, they are mixed reviews, some say its a good mix of home and bag projects and others say its not worth buying.

    So not sure, it might be worth getting from the libary though :D
    Getting myself sorted 1 day/1thing at a time :) and Love sewing :)

    Bet you are the coolest Mum ever now!!

    Found this blog if anyone interested in more free tutorials etc. Its got masses of stuff on it. Dont think its been posted before but apologies if it has. p.s If anyone has that book I mentioned earlier by Amy Butler can you let me know. I dont want to bother getting it if its just for interiors. Ta!

    I have so many links I dont know where to start!

    On a separate note, I love wasting money on crap so am going to get little sewing ribbons printed for stitching into the stuff I make (like the ones that have washing instructions on them but smaller and just with a logo). So, I got my friend to draw me a logo for them. Isnt he cute!!!

    I have to re-do my favourites quite regularly - sometimes they just disappear from my bookmarks list for no reason at all. Bloomin' annoying!
