PS Abigail is hosting a grand giveaway on her blog right now!! Go sign up for an opportunity to win a copy of her Modern Prairie Sewing + a handmade item!! xo
WOOHOO!!! Hooray for Abi's blog hop! Abi was SO sweet to ask me to do a project for her blog hop…especially since I'm not the world's greatest seamstress. Shame on me, I know. Of course, I can sew, but all of my sisters are a whole lot better at it than me. Anyway, this is seriously THE GREATEST book (and I'm not biased!!!). Abi did an amazing job, and every project is so beautiful. Another reason I adore this book is the photography…I was so blessed to get to be behind the scenes, and watch an amazing photographer work. YOU REALLY NEED YOUR OWN COPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For my project, I decided to do the It's A Cinch Belt. I used an Anna Maria Drawing Room Home Dec for the main belt, and Amy Butler Hapi in cotton for the contrasting side and ties. It was SO easy, and I had it whipped up in no time flat. All of the instructions are very clear, and with illustrations if you're a visual kind of girl (like me). I am so happy with the way it turned out, and even more thrilled that Abi was so tickled!
Oh, and don't forget that Abi is giving away two copies of her book along with two made projects from the book. Go check her blog for the giveaways going on August 29th through 31st!!!
Now, check out all these awesome seamstresses blogs, and see the cute things they made from the book!!

It's true, it's finally here!!! Abigail's book, Modern Prairie Sewing, is now available for purchase! Here are some places where you can get your book fix….
Amazon (By the way, Abi has three 5-star reviews on Amazon! She about died.)
And, if you'd like to carry Abi's book in your shop check out your wholesalers (this is the only one we know of so far that is carrying it, but be sure to ask!)….
Of course, if you are a NOOK fan, you can get it that way too!
We are so proud of our girl! She really has done a fantastic job on this beauty. (And we definitely aren't saying this because we got to land on the cover.)
Enjoy your day!

Happy Friday!! We hope it's the start of a beautiful weekend.
