Yes, it’s still available but won’t be manufactured anymore when they run out, so if you’re interested do hurry! Thanks for the link, @sarvi. xo

@deanna, I purchased a pair of blue jeans for S a while ago that had a second layer of fabric at the knees. It was simply sewn behind the main fabric at the location of the knees before the jeans were constructed, and it reinforced the fabric very nicely. I thought it was a great idea. I wish we still had them so I could take a photo for you!

I’m so glad that you’re all happy with it so far. We’ll have lots more fun things for you related to the book starting this week. Yesterday I cut out a new, longer version of the navy long-sleeved version (Dress B) that S was wearing in the book. It’s her favorite, and it was was too short after her growth spurt last year.

Thanks for checking, @nanamar! @Robin went and found it for me yesterday, but it was printed on a quilted poly knit that sounded not very nice. Too bad! It’s a stunning floral. I was wanting to make a dress with it. xo

Oh, this is amazing! Thank you so much, @timpson! @Robin, if you have a chance to look for it, I’m very interested in it. I’ve been told it’s a knit, but it doesn’t really look like it in the photo, does it?

I’m glad to hear that, @thesimpson5! I’m hoping that we’ll be able to make an announcement about a women’s book very soon. Keep your fingers crossed!

Got my book yesterday!! It’s absolutely beautiful and full to overflowing of everything I need to be able to confidently execute ideas I’ve had but never tried because of my fear of failing. Ridiculous, I know, but true none the less. Not any more though! And I can see where this will help me try new things in my own personal sewing too. A…[Read more]

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

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

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

@theartsypaul yes there is. It’s called the Building Block Dress. If you look at some of the recent blog posts on the book, you’ll see it discussed there.

How long until pay day, Heidi? Because I’d hate for you to miss out on the Facebook group. We’ll be doing lots here and on the blog, too, but the live stuff works best on FB.

I’ve done it, too. I think you might be able to squeeze it in if you’re determined!

Ugh, @justsewit, I’m so sorry about the cost! I do hope it will be every bit worth it. I certainly wrote it intending it to be that way. Thanks for trusting me!
