Here comes a big list of the sewing books mentioned in my sewing book video livestream. I talked about my favourite sewing books and you guys chimed in too and shared your faves – it was such a fun chat and the hour just flew by. I even forgot to talk about some of the books on my list! I would love to do more livestreams in the future and the interactive format was a lot of fun.
