Well, let me tell you.
And then FIVE of you can try it out for FREE!


We're giving away FIVE of them!
I really hope you win. Yes, you! (and you too). But if you don't win....there's also a consolation prize. Keep reading.

(Mmm, Pretty cover).

And in a language that you can understand?
Then you'll want this book. I've known Deborah from Whipstitch for two years now and I haven't figured out which I love more: her creative ideas, or her clever writing style. The lady has a gift for words, with a light-hearted punch. In this book, Deborah begins by talking about sewing, why it's popular, and her theory on "the Sewing Gap" (so very true). She talks about the Modern Sewist,




Deborah's goal with the book is to help you build knowledge from one project and then carry those skills over into the next one. So basically, all the projects are intertwined (and beautifully photographed).


A beautiful book and a very pleasant read.

FIVE lucky winners. I love it.
If you don't happen to win, however, the publisher is offering 20% off the already discounted cover price.
CLICK HERE to order and enter STITCH20 at checkout.
The discount is good till 8/31.
Okay, now on to the details....
Giveaway Rules:
* Leave a comment, that's it!
* Leave your EMAIL ADDRESS in your comment.
* Only ONE entry per person.
* If you forget something and need to leave a second comment, go back and DELETE your first comment.
* ONLY OPEN TO U.S. RESIDENTS

Looks like a great book. I only just started sewing at 34, because my textiles teacher made fun of me for not getting how to thread the bobbin after showing us just once :( Sounds stupid, but it totally turned me off. I am now the proud owner of a sewing machine, made your lovely knee pad pants and am very cross at myself for letting an idiot put me off :( Anyway! I live in Japan, so am not eligible for this competition, but just wanted to say I plan on buying this book!
Doh, would have wanted to join this :(
How bout next one for outside U.S. readers? :)
