For my birthday in August, Mr. Fisherman gave me an Amazon gift card.
Oh, how I love those Amazon gift cards.
😊
One of my favorite things to buy is sewing books of any kind.
I've been eyeing A Stylish Guide to CLASSIC SEWING by Sarah Gunn and Julie Starr since it first came out.
From all the reviews I read, I knew it wasn't an actual how-to sewing book before I purchased it.
Having said that, they do include one pattern and instructions for The Modern Classic Pencil Skirt in the back of the book.
I loved this book.
I can read it over and over.
Just as the cover says, the book explores timeless garments with history and includes many modern styling tips for ready-to-wear results.
It includes the history, characteristics, sewing tips, fabric suggestions, how to style, and who wore these classic pieces.
The artwork is beautiful on every page.
I read several reviews from people that gave this book only two or three stars.
I am thinking they were expecting a book of sewing instructions on classic patterns and were disappointed.
I was not.
The book is lovely.
I am really happy I purchased it.
Seriously, I can read it over and over....
Thanks Sara and Julie for such a beautiful book and allowing me to include a few pic's of the beautiful artwork inside.
