Home Sewn and Double Daring

My weekend reads…

Home Sewn– It is too bad I am getting ready to move and cannot start any new sewing projects because I am so inspired after reading this book! It has 30 projects for every room in the house and they are pretty simple and easy. Plus the patterns come with the book!!!  Some of the lovely projects include basket liners, a farmer’s market tote, sheets, a bed skirt, a party garland, roman blinds, a bath mat, a shower curtain, , a scalloped tablecloth, coasters, and throw pillows… just to name a few. I really need to make a few tablecloths and place mat sets but guess that will have to wait. Oh and the ottoman cover may be first on my list…my ottoman is looking pretty sad. I totally recommend this book to home sewers.. even newbies.

The Double Daring Book for Girls – This is a follow-up to their other Daring Book for Girls. This one looks like it is a real winner too. These are probably the two best books any mom could give her daughter. They really encourage that DIY, nature girl, adventure girl inside of us and there are plenty of books for boys along those lines but not so many for girls. These books are priceless. Stay tuned later in the month for a more in depth look at the book and I am going to Double Dog Dare my readers. ;)
