GIVEAWAY: oliver + s little things to sew

We have been waiting for oliver + s little things to sew ever since we got a sneak peek at Quilt Market last year and it's finally here! If it's possible, it's ever better than expected. The projects are clever and beautifully photographed and there is a nice range of age appropriate projects from age 0+.

Author Liesl Gibson is known for her beautiful & classic children's clothing patterns, which you can find at fabricworm FYI, but I love that the projects in this book steps away from the oliver + s norm, instead focusing on accessories and toys. The projects seem very accessible for the beginner - intermediate sewist.

Every project lists the skills you need to finish the piece. If there is something you don't know how to do... adding bias tape? adding a button or zipper? You know we can help!

Read on and find out how to enter to win this beautiful (and useful!) book...

Quinn likes the blocks best!

Leave us a comment before Wednesday, May 4th at Midnight. Tell us what you have planned for your next project for a little one. Stumble, Tweet and/or Like the giveaway for extra entries each day (leaving a separate comment for each.) You can come back and enter every day!
