• Bookish Thursday: Low Sew, No Sew.. twist my arm!

    Date: 2008.07.10 | Category: Knitting Without Needles | Tags:

    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  by  Jodi Kahn, from my wonderful new contact at Potter Craft I said YES MA’AM!

    I LOVE  this book!

    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!!
