I sewed a book!
It is truly a most exciting moment for me to be able to finally share with you, my lovely readers, what I have been working on for over 6 months!
Simple Sewing with Lola Nova,to be published by Mitchell Beazley is a labor of love. I can honestly say that my heart and soul has gone into this book and I am positively giddy with the news!
It was awfully hard to keep it under wraps for so long, but now I can shout from the roof tops that little old me wrote a book!
Simple Sewing with Lola Nova by Alexandra Smith is scheduled to come out in the UK this coming September! The US edition will be published Spring 2013!
The book contains 25 step by step sewing projects for family, life and home. A handcrafted compendium sure to provide a little something for everyone, for all skill levels. This book truly celebrates a handmade life!
I will be certain to keep everyone updated on release and all the nitty gritty as we go along.
Oh, but wait! Looky here, it is available for pre-order on Amazon UK! Oh my goodness!
I want to thank you, yes you! my wonderful friends. My readers really are the best and without you, this book never would have been possible, so thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I wish you all a gorgeous weekend!
