Where do you go for your inspiration? In today's world its easy isn't it?? Plenty of awesome blogs to follow, great sites like etsy to buy PDF patterns, fabric shops that stock a great range of crafting ideas. Me, all of the above plus my local library. The kiddies and I rock on down to the library at least once a week, sometimes more often. Our library has a wonderful range of sewing and crafting books on offer. I like to check out the new book display each visit to make sure I reserve any new crafting books that catch my eye. Librarys should not be overlooked as a source of inspiration. In most cases, the library allow you to photocopy up to 5 pages for free.
On a recent visit to the library I found this book:
1-2-3 Sew by Ellen Luckett Baker
I has 33 simple projects that include, bags, accessories, home accents and more. I loved the chapter on organizers. One of which is a little pencil holder. Very cute, very quick project. You could use the little container for anything really. M now has one for her hair ties and comb.. check it out
Another cool gift idea to add to the stash for the cousins for Christmas! Yippee. And it was a free pattern, I used scraps I have in my stash and a funky button that was a gift. Pretty neat eh? A xx
super super cool!
