Here is a confession....Those books look fantastic!<br /><br />Here is a confession...I never had sewing books until just last year. Everything I learned was either from the instructions in the pattern, or I went and tried to find it online, or I would just "wing it."<br /><br />The year I started trying to make pants was the first time I ever purchased a sewing book! But some of your choices might well make it into my tiny collection!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873478695914665795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-35903240565167842392011-01-01T23:21:18.868-05:002011-01-01T23:21:18.868-05:00There's too much on sale to tempt me to make a...There's too much on sale to tempt me to make a decision.

I would hope that the magazine and Big 4 pattern companies have people how's job is to find out what sewer's want. Using social media and blog reading.

Will I have the energy to muslin it tonight?... We'll see.<br /><br />Here's to a fabulous 2011. :)shamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070023218199309005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-57008959572148276952011-01-01T20:21:27.347-05:002011-01-01T20:21:27.347-05:00Happy New Year!

I'm doing this, too.<br /><br />I don't subscribe to Threads and have rarely bought it in the past, but I loved their last issue so much that after browsing, I had to buy it. The Jan/Feb 2011 issue is another winner? Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely have to check it out.<br /><br />Happy New Year!<br />EmEmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13735322702642049110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-3702148786360765252011-01-01T18:07:17.872-05:002011-01-01T18:07:17.872-05:00hmmm, now you've got me curious about The Tudo...hmmm, now you've got me curious about The Tudors.
