I’m so glad to hear you say that, @mama_knowles! @lightningmcstitch, I hope yours arrives soon. xo

My daughter is already jumping in on the fun too with her ideas. I have some great ideas for my boys too!! This book is even better than I imagined it would be. Thank you so much for all your hard work that went into this Liesl!

I’ve lost count of how many instagram posts I’ve seen with photos of newly delivered books. 🙂
Postage to here will be much slower but I’m still excited!

I’m so glad you’re all excited about this! We’re going to have a lot of fun with it, I promise.

My husband has learnt his line.
I say “check out this invisible zip”
He says “what zip?”
Every time.

He delivers it in such a deadpan, I know my role here, kind of way.
I’ll have to sew an exposed zipper one day and catch him out!

I love the book! It came to Montgomery, Alabama, today. I wish I had had it, when my girls were little. I know I will still get a lot of use from it. Can’t wait for the women’s book now.

It came, it came! I live in Dallas and my book arrived today! It looks just beautiful! Todd & Liesl, how you must get a special thrill seeing S in the book….tell her she looks lovely!

Now to finish up our school day so I can start reading! 😀

I opened my email up this morning to a wonderful surprise of a copy of this book is only one post office stop away from our town!! Now I am too excited to go back to sleep!! This is the best news I have received in a while!!

Thanks, @Tineke! That’s a great start. I appreciate your help and I’ll let you know if I locate it.

Con denim still hasn’t arrived!☹️ I am continuing on with my kwik sew tailored rayon shirt.

@Liesl no worries! We had enjoyed exchanges rate well past parity for a good while that now that we aren’t it seems a hard slog to make the decision. This is an absolute no brainer!

@renee I had to laugh at the express postage being about $76 US ! To get to Australia in like 3 days! I am happy to wait a little while because it is worth the wait…[Read more]
