The <i>ReSew</i> blog tour, day eleven: Make it Do

















Welcome to day ten of the


INCREDIBLE


001RESEW1
BLOG TOUR!



I love the blog we are visiting today. Calli at Make It Do has a philosophy that is close to my heart. She captures it in a quote from Theodore Roosevelt that she features on her front page: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." With tips and advice for not only sewing, but cooking, cleaning, and including your little ones in stay-at-home fun (marshmallow shooters, anyone?), Calli has a gentle way with words and a practical, quiet approach to life that I admire.


Make it do
I hope you'll join Calli today for her review and giveaway of ReSew--I am tickled to hear that she may be raiding her husband's closet soon! Be sure to browse her blog while you're there--she'll inspire you to make your house even more of a home.

the <i>ReSew</i> blog tour begins today!

I am so happy to announce that for the next two weeks, my new book ReSew will be touring the blogosphere, making stops at today's coolest, hippest, and most creative sewing and crafting blogs on the web, hands down!


Let me introduce you to the first of these inspiring blogs--every day, a different blog will be dishing a bit about ReSew AND giving away a copy of the book, too.


MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21ST: SEW, MAMA, SEW!

If you've never visited Sew, Mama, Sew!, you are in for a lifetime's worth of sewing treats. Daily posts, monthly themes, and dizzying amounts of inspiration are to be had for anyone who loves to sew, sew, sew. Plus, they double as a fabric shop! Along with a giveaway of ReSew, Sew, Mama, Sew! is sharing a project directly from the book--my "Elephant Cuddle Cushion"--as part of their themed pillow month.
