Book Review: Sew Darn Cute

This week's book is called "Sew Darn Cute" by Jenny Ryan. It features the cutest projects for everyone! It's divided into four chapters so you can easily find projects according to descriptions. For example:' Pretties' contains accessories such as fabric bracelets, embellished tank top, fabric button necklace, scarf, headband, etc. 'Totables' contain bags and cases for your glasses, laptop, wristlet, and pouches.  'Nest' contains items for your home such as coasters, curtains, towels, and fabric art. 'Kids Stuff' contains just that--cute stuff for kids like monogrammed t's, bibs, quilts, and toys. The last chapter is called 'Crafties' and it has misc items you can use for your crafting organization such as crochet hook cozy, craft apron, needle book, sewing machine cover, and a wrist pin cushion.

Book Review: Nursery Stitch

If you are like me, you absolutely LOVE books--especially craft books. Since crafting seems to be the "in" thing now, there is no shortage of wonderful books for every type of craft. Personally, I sew, cross stitch, do plastic canvas, and a little bit of paper crafting, so these are the books I usually purchase.  I have so many crafting books in my collection that I love, that I thought it might be fun to review one each week! The books I will review will not be hard to find, and I will try to provide links so you can purchase your own copies.

So--on to the first book to be reviewed! I just happened to purchase this book today at JoAnn Fabrics (with a 40% coupon of course!). I saw it there last week and couldn't wait to get my flier with my coupon so I could buy it! It is called "Nursery Stitch" by Rebecca Shreeve and features 20 adorable  projects to make for babies.  Along with applique designs you can use on purchased items, such as bibs, towels, pillowcases, socks, and clothing, there are also some very cute projects you make yourself like toys, mobiles, a rabbit blanket, fleece bear hat, and a dog draft stopper.

I am very happy with this book and all it's adorable projects! If you'd like to purchase a copy of your own, either check your local JoAnn store,  Barnes & Noble, Borders, Overstock.com, or Amazon.
