Hello, all! I'm super excited today to tell you about a new book we have just released, titled Freestyle Handmade: Bags & Skirts. I love this book for so many reasons:

* Bags and skirts are two of the easiest things to sew, so a whole book of these patterns means I have lots great, quick ideas at my disposal, whenever I get the sewing urge.

* There are a ton of patterns in it--over 50!

* I love the look of the book--very cool photography, very hip patterns, totally different from anything I've seen lately.

* And it has great instruction! Illustrations accompany the text, and there's a pull-out section of patterns in the back. Perfect!

Here's a sample page below.

The book isn't in the MyCraftivityShop yet, but you can check it out at our F+W Bookstore or any online bookstore.

Until next time,

Christine
