Book II

by lexiebarnes on December 9, 2009

I’m getting down to the nitty gritty of my new book — and I’m so excited.  It’s big and bold and a LOT of fun to work on.  Right now, I’m choosing fabrics for the final projects. This just might be the best part. I loved the fabrics I used in Sew What! Bags, but I’m working on a new kind of approach and have a vibe in mind for the overall look of the book that’s a little different.  For the first round of projects I’m using scraps from Sew What! Bags and I’m just itchin’ to get my hands on the new fabric for the final projects!

Heads up!

I’m also looking for volunteer sewers to test the projects.  So if you like to sew, want a free copy of a book with your name in it, and are in (or near) MA, call over to my HQ 413.303.1440 or shoot an email to info@lexiebarnes.com and we’ll give you the scoop.

I’d love for you to pitch in!

ciao,

Too bad. . .I’d love to test sew for you, but Michigan isn’t all that close! LOVE your bags, and your first book!
