Back in June we went to the US for a couple of weeks to celebrate  my daughter’s wedding. While there, I went on a shopping spree, and stocked up on everything….clothes, shoes, instant soup, tea, spices, etcPlus, and most important, tons and tons of new books.

Unfortunately, there was not enough room to stuff everything into our luggage, so we had to ship most of it home. Finally, after months of waiting,  our shipment has arrived.

All those glorious books!

Here, for your vicarious enjoyment,  is my reading list for the next couple of months.

Pretty Little Purses And Pouches

 Jam packed with 29 projects, Pretty Little Purses And Pouches, is a delicious treat for anyone who loves to sew. Each of the projects in the book is a delight to look at and practical to use.  The projects run the gamut from very easy to slightly complicated, making this book perfect for both serious and casual crafters.

Pretty Little Purses and Pouches is a group effort. The book has projects from 19 different designers. Each of the designers has made a real effort to contribute a truly superb project to this book.

My favorite?

I love dainty little bags (though I usually lug around too much stuff to use them) so I’d have to pick Pocket This by Wendy Gratz. This delicate little purse is constructed from crinkly cotton fabric and heavy satin. It goes around the neck and shoulder and is only about 6 inches wide. Yum!

There is only one drawback to Pretty Little Purses And Pouches. Each of the patterns in the book need to be enlarged before being used. However, with today’s technology even this glitch isn’t much of problem.

Pretty Little Purses And Pouches is part of a new series from Lark Books. Other titles in the series are Pretty Little Patchwork, Pretty Little Cozies and Pretty Little Potholders. I highly recommend the entire series.
