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.
ReplyDeleteMy 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
