I heart Amy.

love my in-laws-to-be...
look what they brought me for my birthday!!
ooh I have wanted this book forever!

Things from this book that I am just itching to make:
decorative patchwork throw

wide leg lounge pants
from here.
desktop organizer
from here.
 Fashion checkbook clutch
clutch handbag with fabric flower
from here. 
Patchwork handbag

And I don't know how I quite missed this but Amy Butler has a new sewing book coming out in August this year. It is available for pre order on both Amazon and the Book Depositry right now and I may have just added it to my wishlist :)
ps. Have you heard about the book depositary? Even though it is a UK site, I love that they list items in AUD dollars and they have free shipping worldwide (US is on this list too). This means that for me it's often cheaper to purchase and ship from the UK than to buy a book at my local Boarder or Angus and Roberson - isn't this silly! 

what about you, what are you sewing or crafting up right now?

ps. I can't believe today is the 1st of JULY today! can you!?

    You are going to love that book! I've only made a few things, but it's one of my favorites! The Little Stitches book is also great. You know, for after the wedding... Tee hee! XOXO!
