What's that? Finally a book review? I received my copy of
Weekend Sewing at least a week and a half ago, and I am finally getting around to reviewing it. I LOVE it.

Alright, first the book itself. It is BEAUTIFUL. It is also very similar to
Weekend Knitting in that all the projects can be completed in a weekend (or two), and there are cute little recipes sprinkled throughout. I love Heather Ross' writing style (
love her blog), and I read the entire book, although I did not make anything from it yet. It starts out with an introduction of how she began sewing, and then goes into setting up your sewing space. I found this very helpful and this past weekend bought an ottoman in which to store my (new to me since friday!) Singer Featherweight. The end has an appendix with the terms she uses. The patterns are fabulous. The few that I skimmed seem to have clear instructions. Here are a few I intend to make:



There are cute patterns for women and kids, but surprisingly, considering the current trend in a lot of books I buy, nothing for pets, although Lucy did point out the Pup Tent to me.

I really do like this book. Most of the patterns in here are ones that I can see myself wearing and using. Hurray for Heather Ross!
There is another review on a blog I follow
here and you can see more images from the book
here. Also, Heather Ross is having a
cute contest right now. You should check it out!
