Ha. Look what I got for my birthday! My good friend (rox!) gave me this lovely sewing book because I dove headlong into sewing a few months ago. Plus, it had a pattern for a camera bag that was especially thoughtful because I just got a new camera. Perfect!

Sew Liberated by Meg McElwee features 20 very accessible sewing projects with pattern sheets! It includes a wide array of sewing arts from applique and embroidery to quilting. The projects also range from quilts and home goods to day bags, skirts, and aprons. I really like how it spans a few different sewing disciplines, great for someone who is curious and might try out an applique project for kicks. The skill levels look to range from novice to intermediate. I have not tried a pattern out yet but the first one I’d like to make is the Camera Bag Pattern. It’s been added to my long list of sewing projects and will be posted when it’s complete! Find out more about Meg McElwee and Sew Liberated.
