BOOK GIVEAWAY

It even includes a directory of fashion and soft furnishings...

Alison Smith is a trained Arts and Fashion Textile Teacher and owns her own shop called Fabulous Fabric. She has also set up her own sewing school, the Alison Victoria School of Sewing in Leicestershire, which is in fact the largest independent sewing school in England.

  7. I would love this book. Maybe I will finally be able to sew something! And of course this will help me to finally buy that sewing machine I have on my amazon list since months.

    My mother always tried to teach me using that machine... But now, being a housewife, I have more then enough time to learn it by myself without having mom looking over my shoulder :-D.

    Enjoy your Sunday afternoon
    xoxo
