I’m excited to announce that the ‘Sew Classic Clothes for Girls‘ Blog Book Tour kicks off today! It’s been such a thrill having my new book out now for several months. Your kind words and feedback having been nothing but wonderful, so thank you all for your support. Throughout the next two weeks you can follow along on the blog book tour and read book reviews from 15 of the top sewing bloggers in our online community. Some of these bloggers will be doing giveaways for the book and it will be a great opportunity for you to snatch up a copy of your very own!
If you missed my original post all about the book, you can check it out HERE.
The book will be available at all major retailers such as Joann’s, Hobby Lobby, Barnes and Noble etc., however, the books haven’t shown up on store shelves yet. So for now you can purchase the book several different places online.
The book is also available for my International friends on Amazon UK and for my Australian friends you can find it on Fishpond.com. If you have your own copy of the book and have made anything, feel free to share your creations over on The Cottage Mama Facebook Page. Or you can tag me over on Instagram using @thecottagemama. I’d love to see your photos!

I just found your website while looking for easy skirt tutorials for girls. I have been looking for items to buy for my girls that are modest (long) enough, fun, colorful and made in a country that does not support low wages.
