Sewing books

A long time ago when my kids were a

toddler long ago. I bought this cute little soft

cover book with some how to sew patterns.

Just odds and end stuff for toddlers. I used

it for along time.

And after another long time, now my kids

are all adults and have their own toddler and

school age kids, I have rediscovered sewing

books! They are awesome! Much gosh, what

I have been missing! I feel like such a goof.

I spend hours browsing patterns, looking for

unique ones, ones on sale, or a 'lot' of them

on ebay. I have done pretty good too as

I have so many of them. I would say at

least 200. Now are lot are doubles (from

ebay lots), some are old, some are they

kind of pattern I look at and say, well

I might make that one day. I just love

them all! They represent such possibilities!

Gifts to give, clothes to wear, bags totes

and purses to carry,baby layettes, baby

bedding...that should give you the picture.

And today, I rediscovered the sewing

book. They come with actual PATTERNS!

Wow! Sooo, I spent a few hours browsing

ebay, and did find a few that I thought were

interesting, but could only get this one to load

I have always wanted to try embroidery with

silk ribbon. Thought it might add a nice touch

to purses, blankies, Olivias clothes, my jammies,

stuff like that! I thought the price was pretty

good too, $3.50.

Now I know there are free instructions on line.

I can print them and follow them I know,

but thought it might be nice to be able to

sit and have the book at hand.

I am thankful for/love

my constantly wanting to learn to sew something new
