My new book, “Sew Classic Clothes for Girls: 20 Girls’ Dresses, Outfits and Accessories from The Cottage Mama” is finally released and shipping! I have been talking about the book a lot over on Facebook, but I was waiting to do the official blog post until Amazon had started shipping the books. The official book release date was October 7, 2013 and I have been shipping books ordered directly from The Cottage Mama website for a couple weeks, but last week Amazon officially shipped out all the pre-orders. Yay!
For me, having written a book is about the biggest accomplishment I have achieved from a sewing career stand-point. It still doesn’t feel real. I’m sure the more people that buy the book and the more lovely creations I see from people using the patterns, it will all start to sink in fully, but for now I feel like I’m in a dream. A really good dream.
So what’s inside the book? The book has 17 garment patterns and 3 accessories in size 12 month – size 10. All of the patterns are contained on a disk in the back of the book in PDF form. You simply place the disk into your computer, select the garment you wish to make and print out that specific garment onto standard 8.5″ x 11″ pieces of paper. There are marks on each piece of paper that tell you where to tape the sheets of paper together. Then you cut out your pattern size. The taping of the paper takes about the same amount of time it would take you to trace a pattern, but it’s much easier.
Why do you have the patterns on a disk? The publisher and I chose to do this for many different reasons.
1) The most important reason was that I wanted this to be an extremely garment heavy book with a wide range of sizing without a lot of filler projects that didn’t require patterns. I also didn’t want to give you a ton of measurements, I wanted you to have the pattern pieces. There would have been absolutely no way to bind that many different pattern pieces into one book. That’s why you don’t see many books like this on the market.
2) Secondly, having a disk secured in the back of the book ensures that the pattern pieces are not going to fall out of the book (a common problem with many sewing books). What good is a pattern book without the patterns?
3) The book also takes up less space on your shelves and the shelves of book stores and quilt stores around the country.
4) And finally, having the disk allows you to print out your patterns time and time again, meaning you don’t have to trace your patterns and you can throw away the pattern after you’ve made a garment and simply print it out if you want to make it again…….no need to store those patterns if you don’t want to.
So having all the patterns on a disk may be something new to you, but I promise you that it’s very easy to use.
The book contains step-by-step full-color illustrations for each one of the garments. Not only do I give you my tips and tricks as you sew each garment, there is a large introductory section of the book where I show you all types of different techniques from making your own bias binding, using bias binding, creating custom piping, inserting piping, gathering techniques, how to make pintucks, using covered buttons and trims. I also write about pairing patterned fabrics and how to use those when creating unique, one-of-a-kind pieces for your little ones. In the back of the book I give you a full two pages of additional design ideas.
I am a very visual person, so I wanted to include many eye-candy and inspirational photographs throughout the book. My publisher allowed me to work with my friend, Amy Tripple of Amy Tripple Photography, who is a local Chicago-area photographer. It was wonderful because that meant I got to have my two sweet girls in the book and got to style and help with each and every photoshoot. The step-by-step technique shots were photographed in my studio and those are my hands in each shot. We had so much fun working on this book together and I think Amy really made the book come to life through her absolutely gorgeous photography.
So here are more photographs from inside “Sew Classic Clothes for Girls“:
If you watch the video and the very beginning of the post, you can see more patterns that are included in the book.
If you would like a signed copy of the book, you can order in through my website: https://thecottagemama.patternbyetsy.com/
Or you can find it on Amazon.com, Walmart.com and Barnes and Noble and it should hit stores shelves very soon in stores such as Joann’s, Michael’s, Hobby Lobby and all other major book stores. You can also find it in many of the local quilt shops around the country. I will not be selling the book wholesale, but if you are a shop and are interested in carrying the book, you can order through one of the many The Cottage Mama distributors such as Checker, Brewer, United Notions, CS Distribution or order directly through the publisher, F & W Media.
It really doesn’t matter to me where you purchase the book, I just hope you go out and get yourself a copy and love it as much as I do. This book was a labor of love and I thought of all of you as I wrote it. Were it not for you and this blog, I would have never had the opportunity to make my dream come true. So thank you, truly, thank you!

Lindsay I received your book last week and I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed reading and looking at all the amazing pages! I am a quilter but I have a 16 month old granddaughter, soooooo I am dying to make her those darling dresses in your book.

Even if i’m not pick i’m want this Book and want that my sewing friends discovered your Book. Thanks for this opportunity.i’ll share on my FB page and pinterest.
Awwww…. The dresses are so pretty. My entire pregnancy, I wished for a lovely daughter, so that i could dress her in lovely, pretty dresses. In 2010, just few mins before Valentine’s Day, i was blessed with a beautiful daughter. I didn’t know much stitching then. Just could stitch on a straight line, that’s it. Now i can barely manage to stitch a sleeveless tunic. Still need to learn to attach sleeves. So am looking for appropriate guidance to brush up my skills and learn a few new ones. Also looking for cute patterns to dress up my angel.
Love Always…
Shared on Pinterest (http://www.pinterest.com/pin/197947346095601304/) – My 5 year old granddaughter would look FANTASTIC in these clothes. Thanks so very much for the work that you have done with this book. Would love to own a copy.

Hi Lindsay,
I featured the book and your site last week on my blog. I just now tweeted, G+ed, and pinned! : ) I would love this book because I admire your techniques and the way you put them together for your little clothes. I use your tutorials all the time and expect the book will have similar well done tutorials.
Thanks, Debbie
Dear Lindsay,
You are so talented and hard-working, I just adore the effort you put into this lovely book.
Surely I could use a copy for sewing for all the seven god-daughters of my sister and my own and for other little ladies as well.
So I just pinned a picture from this post to my Inspiration-kids clothes board on Pinterest, as you can see it here. http://www.pinterest.com/amatulaikrek/inspiration-kids-clothes/

Your beautiful book is pinned here — http://www.pinterest.com/pin/72902087691770239/. My sweet niece would look so pretty and unique in your creative outfits. She’s 9 years old and I’m sewing for her as much as I can because I’m afraid there may come a day when she won’t want handmade pretties in her closet. If I keep her outfitted in one-of-a-kind beautiful and well-constructed clothing, I’m hoping she’ll never settle for the mass-produced items. Thanks so much for writing this book for us Lindsay!
This book looks amazing and if I don’t win I will be purchasing a copy.

I’m hoping that if I don’t win a copy I’ll get one for Christmas! I want to have a new go-to book – I’ve been using Kristin Masterson’s book, but I need more classic patterns for my daughter, who I sew for more than my son. She’s a very girly girl but also very active so I’m excited to try new patterns.
I actually already bought your book and love it. I entering to win one for my friend. I am working on the Sweet Dress right now! I love how the book includes helpful hints on fabric coordination to adding piping. Very informative. I am sharing on FB and Pinterest. Oh, and FYI I am in Houston and mistakenly thought you would be at the Market and the Festival. I spent a day at the Festival and after walking up isle 1800 5 times finally realized you were only at the Market. 🙁 I was hoping to meet you. Maybe next year!

Hello, I love your blog and have made some of your patterns, thank you! And thank you for what looks to be a fantastic book. I have a grand daughter who will be one this month and walking soon so I am very excited to start making her dresses. In the crawling stage, dresses are harder for them to wear. And, I have not wanted to ‘wish’ her through any stages. It would be such a gift to win a copy of your book.
I am pinning it to my Pinterest page and I will post it to Facebook too. Also, I am on a yahoo sewing group and will share the information about your book there too. We are a large group of sewists who quilt and sew garments. Your creations are so pretty, I am sure they will be excited to buy your book. I know I am.
Thank you for sharing your creative ideas with us and for the opportunity to win a signed copy! Oh, and I want to say thank you for the disk with the book. I am completely behind your reasoning. It makes good sense.

Lindsay, I just received my book and can’t wait to start sewing. I saw your booth at Market and was so impressed! Congratulations.

I’m a visual person too and I’m really looking forward to sitting in front of the fireplace and looking at all the wonderful photographs!! I shared it on Pinterest since I have many friends who sew. I really like that the patterns are on CD. I’ve bought sewing books before with pattern inserts and it’s hard to trace close to the book binding. I can’t wait!!
I am in LOVE with these photos and can’t wait to get my hands on your new book. I just love your style and classic designs. I’ve shared on my Facebook page.
Before I knew about the giveaway I actually took a picture of my book and texted it to a friend who I’m teaching to sew. If I won, I’d give a copy to her 😉 I also pinned to my sewing board on pinterest!
Congratulations on publishing your book! It looks fabulous! I’ve shared it on my Facebook page and on Pinterest and would LOVE to win a copy!

I have been looking forward to the release of your book for months! It is beautiful! I’m excited that all the pattern pieces and all the sizes are contained on one thin CD. I hate having to trace patterns and this will be so convenient. The photography and instructions in the book make sewing such lovely garments easy and I appreciate and need the inspiration of the photos rather than just a pattern sheet which tells me the next step. This book will encourage me to create and what an incredible bargain for all these patterns. Congratulations on a wonderful contribution to all the sewing moms and grandmas!
I have 3 daughters I love to sew for and the pictures I have seen from your book are amazing. Just sitting here dreaming about the beautiful creations I will be able to create from your lovely patterns for my 3 sweeties. I love how all the pieces coordinate so well together .

I am so excited about your book!
My precious Granddaughter, Rowan, always asks when I go to visit, “What did you make me Grandma Patt”
This warms my heart.
If something is ripped or torn she collects till I come, so I can fix it. (The dogs tend to make a somewhat productive pile)
I like to send items every so often so she thinks of us back in Texas. So many great options in your book. Love it.
Thank you for sharing your talents.
Sorry this Grandma forgot to tell you I shared on FB.

I have shared it on Pinterest. What cute clothes!
My twin sister is the mastermind behind chickadee chickadee. While I swear Ashley stole all the sewing talent from the womb, she excites me about every dress and coat that she’s made from your patterns…and she’s convinced me I can do them because of how much time and care you’ve put into each design and instruction. So congrats on a fabulous job well done! Can’t wait to order one if I don’t win 😉
I will gladly pin it and would love to know what size the patterns go up to.
Your new book is stunning. I love the idea of all the patterns being on the disk. The photography really expresses the feel and look of each article of clothing. Wishing you the best.
