"Chic and Simple Sewing" by/di Christine Haynes

I recently bought from Amazon – one of my biggest addiction! – this wonderful book by Christine Haynes, “Chic and Simple Sewing”.

I like the process of sewing, I love fabrics, and I’m always looking for books as a source of inspiration to broad my creative horizons.

I love to find a book that inspires me and that I want to read again.
It is so hard to write about something so elusive and personal like creativity.

This book is packed with great and simple ideas about how to sew your own clothes.
Christine Haynes is able to convey her ideas on sewing and fashion along with her passion about her work.
I just would like to sew everything in the book!
But even if I maybe won’t – I’m a lazy seamstress, remember? – just looking at the pictures makes me dream.

I’m working on a Projects Journal to keep track of my ideas, with the aim to find a common thread in them.
There has to be sense in what I do… Or not?

“Sewing” is one of the sections, so I guess this allows me to do more research about the subjects, buying more books and more fabric! (I hope Alessandro is not reading this!)

Anyway, have a look at Christine Haynes website and blog at http://www.christinehaynes.com/ to have a preview of the book and a look at her collections.

I love these models… I really like ruffles and feminine dresses – and of course prints!
