So I got a little behind posting about the ‘Sew Classic Clothes for Girls’ Book Tour this week. I’m in charge of Savannah’s Kindergarten holiday party, so I have been busy getting ready for that and just trying to truly enjoy this holiday season with the kids. We made several different Christmas cookies yesterday and have been having a wonderful time. They’re only little once, right? I’m sure you understand. But I’m back this morning to update you on where the tour is located and which blogs are doing giveaways for the book.

Today we continue the ‘Sew Classic Clothes for Girls‘ Blog Book Tour with two incredible sewing bloggers. I’m sure you know our first blogger, Dana, as she has made quite a name for herself over on her super-popular sewing blog, MADE. Dana was one of the first sewing blogs I followed before I decided to start my own blog. She is known for her simple, modern approach to sewing with fantastic and easy to understand instructions. I met her last year at Alt Design Summit in Salt Lake City and she’s just as cool and laid back as she appears on her blog……oh, and her fashion sense is amazing. Dana understands the time and energy that goes into writing a book as she released her first book a while back called, Fabrics A to Z.

Head over to MADE to read Dana’s review and enter to win your very own copy of the book. Click HERE.

And also on the tour today is Melissa fromMelly Sews. Melissa writes a wonderful sewing blog and is also the owner / designer behind the pattern line, ‘Blank Slate Patterns‘. And though our design aesthetics differ from one another, we both come together with our love of beautiful finishing and well-fitting garments. Melissa has some of the best technical sewing tutorials over on her blog and she also has an e-course for learning to create your very own digitized PDF patterns. Melissa and I had the pleasure of meeting at Quilt Market this fall and I think she is just the best. Cute, smart, energetic and talented……all rolled into one!

Today is the 4th stop on the ‘Sew Classic Clothes for Girls‘ Blog Book Tour and I’ve got another two ladies that I am so excited to share with you! First up is my blogging buddy, Jess from Craftiness is not Optional! Jess and I have known each other in the blogging world since we both got started and competed in the first season of Project Run and Play. Jess has three incredibly adorable little girls (I means seriously…..the cuteness is to. die. for.) and the clothing that she makes for them is some of the absolute best! Oh and don’t get me started on the incredible parties that she throws. They will blow your mind.

And next up is my good friend Stef from Girl. Inspired. Stef and I are really, actually friends……..like we have phone chats and everything even though she lives in California and I live in Chicago. We met through blogging and got to meet in real life a year ago, but I feel like she is my creative soul sister. We just click. You know how when you meet somebody and you’re sure you’ve known them your whole life? Yep, that’s Stef. I love her to pieces and she has been such a bigger support for me through growing my business. Stef’s style is perfection. She throws the most incredible parties. Her sewing is impeccable. Her photography is stunning. And she’s just about one of the nicest people I have ever met.
