I'm super excited to tell you about this new book, Sewing for Boys. It's written by Shelly Figueroa (Patterns by Figgy's) and Karen LePage (One Girl Circus)
I got to meet Shelly from Patterns by Figgy's at Quilt Market back in May. I loved their patterns and their booth was super cute. She told me about this new book coming out and I got super excited about it. Heaven knows the market for girl patterns is heavily saturated. But it's hard to find great books and patterns that are strictly for boys.
I was lucky enough to receive a free copy to review - and I get to give away a copy to one of you! August was really hot and busy and I hardly sewed at all. I had grand plans for September. I thought, hey the kids will be in school and it will cool down and I'll find all sorts of time and motivation. Ha! Not so much. It turns out that having 2/3 of my kids in school for just 3 hours/day amounts to about ONE hour/day to do something (if I'm lucky and Simon naps)!
Are you following me?
Please tell me I'm not the only one who is still trying to get my life back in order after summertime?!
There are 24 great patterns in this book - shirts, pants, pajamas, hats, play things, etc. It's awesome! Shelly and Karen have done a great job with it.
I have grand plans to make some clothes for Simon. Maybe some matching pants for Max if he'll agree to it (he's at that age, ya know).
Please forgive my awful pictures ... I have a lame camera and I never do anything during the day when children are awake. You understand, right?
If you'd like to win your own copy of this great book.... please leave a comment on this post. Winner will be announced on Monday, Sept 19th.
And if you're not following my blog already, I'd love it if you would. But you don't have to. :)
Check out all the other great bloggers who are writing about this book (full list is in my last post).
Thanks to Patterns by Figgy's and Wiley Craft for sponsoring this giveaway!
