Which got me thinking that there are probably lots of novels out there that feature sewing, and it might be fun to assemble a list of them to share with each other. So feel free to comment on this post and list any books you&#8217;ve read that feature seamstresses or sewists, will you?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pinterest Picks<\/strong><br \/>\nTomas Maier is one of my favorite designers at present.
