Day 4: Sewing books on my shelf, Part 2

Today is Day 4 of 31 Days of Sewing School.

Yesterday I shared a handful of sewing books I love. Today I have a few more to add to the list. 

There are so many great print resources, full of helpful tips, tutorials and patterns, and my humble collection will merely be scratching the surface. But nonetheless, if you are looking for some reading material to get your sewing-mind inspired, this list will be a good starting point.

Sewing books on my shelf

These are affiliate links, but all of these books sit on my shelf and were either gifts or books I bought myself. I share them with you today for the simple reason that I enjoy them. :)

A Rainbow of Stitches by Agnes Delage-Calvet and others

From quilting to embroidering to sewing for home, self, kids, gifts, etc, there are seriously sewing books for every purpose. The one book I’ve yet to crack open is my serging book. I was giving a hand-me-down serger and I really look forward to learning how to use it. This series won’t be touching on serging, but in the future I’ll be sure to share my learning experiences with you.

I’ll see you back tomorrow for a look at what you really need to get going with sewing. Are you feeling inspired yet?

    I love to see all the sewing books! It is something that is a weakness of mine. I love to look at all the pictures. Of course it isn’t just sewing books for me…it is also knitting books. I really like to look through books to get new ideas, so fun!

    i am feeling inspired! i don’t sew – i mean i have only been mending buttons for a little over a year – no machine yet and not much knowledge on where to start. it is funny i don’t sew because i do knit and crochet. i am inspired though to start where i can and hopefully invest in a machine down the line!

    You should check to see if your library has a copy of ‘The crafty minx’ by Kelly Doust. You’d love it.
