You’re going to love this book! {Even if you’re sewing challenged!} The Best of Sew Simple Magazine has over 50 quick projects that are…SIMPLE!
I’m a simple project kind of person! I like to start on something and be completely finished in a few hours. This book is full of quick projects that are beautiful! You’ll find ideas for purses, coffee sleeves, aprons, and lots of tips on techniques to help you with each project.
This table runner would be fun for your summer parties. There’s a great section for your home and even ideas for upcycling your old clothes!
These gift bags would make a someone feel special! You might have a hard time giving them away once you’ve finished sewing them.
I love this little skirt! Please excuse the poor photos…the light wasn’t great and I’m impatient! It looks better in the book.
This is a wonderful book with tons of quick projects that work out great when you’re feeling creative and you don’t have much time. You could even use your fabric scraps for some of these. If you read Sew Simple Magazine you already know the quality of their work.

One of my favorite book at Chronicle is the Sublime Stitching Craft Pad. Too bad it’s out of stock.
I already embroider, but /really/ want to learn how to sew. This book would help!
I love the book ‘Sophisticated Babies and Toddlers’. But the site says ‘Sold out’. Bah!
I follow you on twitter, and I reposted this contest on twitter as well. before i knew how to enter=)
Wow… there are a lot of great craft books over there. My favorites would have to be: Big Green Book of Recycled Crafts, Rubbish Reuse Your Refuse and Green Crafts For Children. My son is into making new things from old things.

Really, THAT book is my favorite on their site. They do have a lot of nifty ones (Mary Englebreit’s would be a must-flip-through, at LEAST), but I can basically fix a seam and reattach a button (and that’s about IT), so the Sew Simple is just about at my level, LOL.
