I'm talking about Wendy Mullin's newest sewing book, Built by Wendy Dresses: The Sew U Guide to Making a Girl's Best Frock
. I am beyond excited. You can see the reviews I have written of her first two books here and here. I highly recommend them to all sewers (at any level) who ask me what books to use for garment sewing. Although Wendy's designs runs a bit 1980s for me at times, her sewing books are rock solid in terms of garment making technique and construction. Plus, her patterns are so easy to customize, I can easily make her styles more my own. I hope to have a copy of this newest title in my grubby paws very soon and will write about it probably the day I get it—cause it's just that thrilling to me.
You can pre-order your copy of this one now, it comes out in about 3 weeks. Now I have to decide if I should wait for her book to arrive before I cut into the green silk I just bought. I don't think I can wait. Oh well, I will just have to make another dress when I get this book. You know, for research.
