So you may or may not have noticed that I haven’t been sewing much. Actually, not at all since before Christmas. I’ve been in a sewing slump. I’m hoping this will get my sewing juices flowing. This is the book I bought the other day, the one I was so impatient for, ISBN 4391624206.
I’m thinking about starting with an alligator:

That is when I finally finish the never ending list of other projects I have lined up. Oh and because I don’t have enough to do (wink, wink) here are pictures of the rest of the projects from the book. It is so nice to see what else is in a book before you buy it, don’t you think?
Jade from My art is my outlet had a giveaway on her blog and I won! She sent over this beautiful smock.

No. Those words don’t even begin to cover it. It is absolutely gorgeous and sooo well made. I kept showing it to Alan saying, “can you tell how well it’s made?!“. He replied, “yes it’s so professional, like from a store.” No. It’s waaaaaay better. You don’t see craftsmanship like this in stores. I’ve never ever seen clothes made with such care. Even the seams are beautiful. I mean are those French seams and hand sewing, Jade?! WOW!

But that’s not all. She also sent along some of her beautiful artwork. I’m so lucky. Soooo lucky!
Thank you so much Jade!
