Ah yes, the books, well since December I've been splurging on books - sorry the pics not too good - anyways, I love design and craft books, as you can see, I don't have much will power for a good book with tons of inspiration:
• A Knitting Glossary with Elizabeth Simmermann DVD (there is so much info in this DVD, this was a good buy for sure)
• T-Shirt Style: Super-Easy New Looks in No Time (I love the idea of refashioning clothes that I already have in my closet - plus great projects for my serger)
• Generation T: 108 Ways to Transform a T-Shirt (there are a couple skirts in here that you can make out of big 'ol t-shirts, I have to try this)
• Knitting Little Luxuries: Beautiful Accessories to Knit (LOVE the style of this book, so pretty to look at and some irresistible patterns in here, lots of embellishing too - my fav!)
• Knit 2 Together: Patterns and Stories for Serious Knitting Fun (There is a shrug in here that I HAVE to make!)
• Bend-the-Rules Sewing: The Essential Guide to a Whole New Way to Sew (many projects that I want to make in here and I love the way it's written)
• KnitKnit: Profiles + Projects from Knitting's New Wave (love the stories in her, very inspirational, and I love the cover - wonder if I can get this as a poster?)
oooh, so many great projects and ideas I don't know what to start. But hopefully I'll be starting another ME project soon!

[The zipper has been putting off making that skirt for months!]
Your skirt is great! Now...off to check out those t shirt books.
How cute! I need to check that pattern out, I'm always on the lookout for a good a-line pattern.
I love your skirt! Great job :)
Great book haul, too!
Jill,
Skirt looks great! I'm totally curious about the t-shirt books you got. I have a TON of t-shirts and would love to find a way to make them new again. I might have to check these out myself. Sounds like fun!

That's quite the book haul! Awesome. :) I like to visit Knit 2 Together when I'm at B&N. :D
Great skirt!!
What a great skirt - I have the cover fabric washed and dried for my very own Barcelona - glad to hear that that the zipper isn't scary:) I love you new book collection - love Bend the Rules myself! and need me some Zimmerman!
What a cute skirt!! If only I was as crafty as you! Oh...and If I could find time. Love it!
Love, love, LOVE the skirt! I bought that pattern ages ago and still haven't done anything with it! Can you believe that? I need to get on the ball...
I went out and bought T-shirt Style for my college age daughter who is just learning to sew. Then I threw in Amy Butler's In Stiches and a basic skirt book. I figured this was a good valentine's day package.
