Friends. If you adore fabric — or anything related to fabric — I highly encourage you to pre-order your copy of Martha’s new Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts. It covers everything I love about working with textiles. Dyeing, printing, stamping, embroidering, quilting, etc. With the gorgeous photography and clear instructions that are trademarks of anything Martha. 150 different projects are featured. That’s right. One hundred and fifty. Like the companion volume, the Encyclopedia of Crafts, this volume is a heavyweight. It’s the size of a major textbook.
I was lucky enough to receive an advance copy and I’ve been reading it like a novel. I think the first thing I want to try is a project featuring some ribbon embroidery. Wouldn’t it be lovely to embellish a little hat and blanket for this new baby?
