Gertie's New Book for Better Sewing
Oh yeah, pretty pumped right now! I already warned Luke that I'm not going to be very productive today at work haha. Did the rest of you get your books yet? I was pretty jealous of everyone that got their copies before me. This is post is short, I'm off to read!
jealous! i have it on preorder from amazion but it's not out here til next week!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous too. Doesn't appear to have landed in the UK as yet
ReplyDeletePre-ordered mine from Amazon, but apparently should have paid to upgrade the shipping. E-mail says it won't get to me on the West Coast until Friday :(. In good news, Amazon says it should show up at the same time as the new "Captain Underpants" book for my children, so at least we can all take some quiet time to read.
ReplyDeleteI'm in CA and I got the standard shipping! Next time I think I will upgrade because it's hard seeing everyone else with the book when I want it so bad! haha
DeleteYay! :) There's a lot to read... I got started on reading, and then skipped ahead to the patterns. I can't wait to warm up with a blouse project! I can tell this book is gonna push me to learn more drafting and fitting skills though--it's gonna be good but painful ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree 100%! I will definitely learn a lot!
DeleteACK!! I missed the mailman Saturday, and I go to work before the post office opens and get home after it closes, so I have to wait til this Saturday to pick it up-- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTorture!!! :)
DeleteOMGJEALOUS... I got a message saying my pre-order was shipped but it isn't here yet... WAAAHHHHH!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have carried it room to room- I love new books- especially pretty ones!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, everything inside is so beautiful! The photos, the colors, the illustrations. Amazing.
DeleteLucky you!! I'm still waiting :(
ReplyDeleteSo jealous, I need to get mine ordered. Tonight.
ReplyDeleteDo it!
DeleteIt's going to take AGES to get to us in little old Australia :(
ReplyDeleteI need to fly to the states to pick my copy up (seriously considering it!!)
Can you post pics so I can live vicariously through you until mine arrives?? Pretty Please??
haha! Whereabouts in Australia do you live? My in laws lived in Sydney for 14 years or so. I wish that I had the opportunity to visit them before they moved :(
Delete:) Can't wait for my copy!
ReplyDeleteMine arrived last night! Can't wait to dive in. The patterns included are super cute I may never need to buy another pattern there are so many.
ReplyDeleteI want to make them all!!!
Deletei got mine yesterday. it was delivered to my desk and i spent my lunch hour reading. what project are you doing first??
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure yet. I like all the patterns, but some are definitely a little too advanced for me right now. I might start off with the basic top and see how that goes. What are you going to start off with?
DeleteI LOVE MINE SO MUCH. Enjoy your time reading!
ReplyDeleteMeg, I can't wait to see what you make! xo
DeleteI'm hoping that someone in my family took my numerous hints and got this for me for my birthday. Either way I won't be able to make anything until after I have this baby (dec) so I'll just have to live vicariously through the rest of you when you start showing off all the cute things you've made.
ReplyDeleteBut that's perfect because you will know what you want to make and you will have time to order the most perfect fabric. Right? :)
DeleteI totally thought this wasn't out till September so I'm excited to see everyone's posts on it now! I want one!!! But I guess I should be sewing again before I do... Can't wait to hear what you think of it!
