The book giveaway has closed.
Last winter, I was honored by being asked to be a pattern tester for a new sewing book that was coming out! The book is
Sewing With Oilcloth by Kelly McCants.
I was asked to test this sweet little messenger bag:
It turned out nicely and has a bunch of pockets and sections on the inside. I am probably going to use this bag to hold some of my homeschooling materials here in the office.
Last week, Kelly came to Atlanta and had a booth at the Country Living Festival at Stone Mountain Park. A few days before, she was holding a book signing at Whipstitch Fabrics. I couldn't miss meeting one of my sewing/Twitter buddies in real life, so I took my mom and my friend Tara with me to get my books signed!
Mom & Tara
Kelly & Me!
Oh that's right, the title said giveaway, didn't it? Wiley Publishers sent me a few copies of the book, and I got them all autographed the other night. I'm giving a copy away here on my sweet little blog!

I've never sewn with oilcloth but have been intrigued by it. Is it slot different from sewing with regular fabric?
