This book would be PERFECT for me! I have a lot of 1 metre fabrics laying in my room, waiting untill I make something beautiful of it. I really want to make a summer blouse/tunic, so lovely to give a finishing touch to a summer outfit!

I would totally make the 6 pack carrier on the cover! I always reuse my old cardboard carriers or take them back to the store. They let you mix and match bottles and make up your own 6 pack! This would be awesome to make them I could make extras as gifts! How cool Happy
