Bookish Thursday: Low Sew, No Sew.. twist my arm!
Today’s book is a bit off topic but let me tell you it is my kind of book.
See my sewing machine there? Tucked UNDER the stash? Yeah there is a reason for that. It is there because we just don’t get along. The lady at Sears says it’s because I didn’t buy the Kenmore replacement needles. I’m not sure. But for whatever reason, we do not play on the same team!
So when I was offered the book Simply Sublime Bags: 30 No-Sew, Low-Sew Projects
I LOVE this book!
Check this out..
I made this while simultaneously thumbing my nose at my sewing machine! It’s that easy! (ok.. well I made it…. er… a bit upside down; but I like it!)
If I had to describe this book in one word it would be CLEVER! or perhaps GENIUS! or CRAFTILICIOUS!
Jodi Kahn’s brain is one of the ones I would love to just mind meld with! I mean who thinks of using Monopoly money to make a checkbook cover or Tootsie Roll wrappers to make a clutch?
Yeah, it’s like that! FUN!!

Ok if you made it this far you deserve a little something!! So If you will remember I reviewed the novel The Tenth Gift a few weeks back. So If you are interested in a copy, leave me a comment and I will rev up the random number generator and one of you will win my slightly used copy!! It’s a great read! I am glad to pass it on!!
So leave me a comment by midnight Friday and you too could find yourself up at 2 a.m. reading!!
I’m always up for a good read — especially a thrifty (make that free) read!
I’d sure wouldn’t mind diving into that book. I know I won’t have but a minute here and a minute there for the next 16-18 years, but eventually it’d get read (I think).
At least someone gave you a reason why you and the sewing machine don’t get along. I have a silent truce with mine, and always expect that it will not be cooperative when I need to use it.
No need to enter me in the book drawing. I’ll make a note about reading it however.
Glad I am not the only one that doesnt get along with the machine. i have abrand new one used it twice and first time it gave me hell and wouldnt do what i wanted it to do. 2nd time i managed to get my finger in the way of needle lol.so it bit me lol
after that i packed it in a box and it sits on a shelf taunting me. to dare try again lol
Oh, count me in! I love a good read
Your closet is so much more organized than mine…maybe I should start working on that project!
Very clever!
Okay, I’m just commenting because I think you are my long lost sister!!! My sewing machine won’t play nice either. So we are sisters, or I have the evil twin to your sewing machine ;D
(Goes off to look for a copy of that No sewie book…)
