  7. I saw this at the ABC Shop. For a non-sewer I was amazed at how much I wanted a copy! It is stylish and has very cute projects (like your Exhibit A there). Enjoy! x

  10. Lucky you - what a great book to win! Part of the fun is deciding what to make and reading about it first. The little bag does look lovely.
