The Happy Home : sew along

 

I'm joining in a Sew-A-Long!!  Jenny at SewPrettyDresses.blogspot.com invited me and who I was I to say no?? I didn't own this book yet... and low and behold, now I had a valid "reason" to hold it.  Kinda like getting a coupon for some Cheetos or something... you don't buy them, you don't eat them, you shouldn't get them....... but wait, now you have a good reason, a coupon!  So they magically hop in your cart.  With this book, however, I doubt that I've have any buyers remorse (or tummy aches!)
Sow what is this book?  It's Jennifer Paganelli's book "Happy Home:  Twenty Sewing and Craft Projects to Pretty Up Your Home"   Jennifer is a designer and to sum it up in one word "vibrant" would be my pick!  I can't wait to sew something for my home.... I mean, I don't have to take measurements and adjust for squiggly kids now do I?  Jump in here to see some of her Pretty Things (as I refer to them) -- not just for you sewers either... although it might just convince you to find a machine on CraigstList. 
I am day 20!!  But you can follow along as other participants pick a project from the book!  Jump in and watch... or join me!! We'll grab coffee... or order pizza... or eat those Cheetos.
