Princess Di is wearing a new dress

On Dress-A-Day today, Erin pimped what sounds like a lovely starter book for the motivated beginner sewist: Built by Wendy Dresses: The Sew U Guide to Making a Girl's Best Frock. For those of you who are wondering if sewing your own clothes is something you'd like to try, this book sounds like a good springboard. Erin gives very good advice, and she gives this one a thumbs-up. In her own words:

I get a lot of emails that basically read "I bought a sewing machine NOW WHAT??" I think this book is the new answer to "NOW WHAT??"

Reading Erin's description of the book made me all antsy to resume my wardrobe building.

But instead, I'm up to my eyeballs in stuff here at the office. Four weeks and two days until Spring Break.

Why have I forgotten this blog?!!

Is there an LJ RSS feed? I can't remember how to do that.

I could spend three days just perusing her links.

WANT. In other news, I've gotten so far as to open the pattern and cut some fabric for one of the patterns I got from you on the other side of this year. :)
