SEW ... The Garment-Making Book of Knowledge

We chat to Barbara Emodi, give you a chance to win the book and learn how-to sew a Flat-Felled Seam.
I am a Halifax Nova Scotia (that's in Canada) sewing teacher and writer. I have taught sewing extensively in Canada, the US and Australia am a past contributing editor for Threads magazine and have written for many other sewing publications. That's my official background but really I am just a person who was born into a strong sewing culture and has sewn most days for the last 50 years. Sewing occupies my mind constantly and I am always trying to figure out a better and easier way to do the kind of day-to-day sewing folks do in their normal lives.

What projects are you currently working on?
My wedding! I'm the sole planner of it, and I think it's my biggest project of all time!

We have a really small house, a 1920s Spanish Revival bungalow, but I love how cosy it is, and how the architectural details were maintained. My desk is in the nook off the dining room, and gets a ton of natural light. I can watch the crows play in our fig tree while I work.
