Sew La Tea Do: 25 Favourite Things to Sew by Pip Lincolne
In a word, this book is adorable. Between its cute covers you will find instructions and patterns to make 25 things. Included are projects for kids, for adults, and for the home. Pip Lincolne writes the super-duper popular blog, Meet Me at Mikes, and lives above her store which, aptly enough, is named the same thing.
This is Pip's second how-to book and I honestly want to make everything in it! The instructions are clear with plenty of diagrams for those of us who are visual learners (ahem, me). Some of my favorite projects have to be the tunic dress, the pajama bags, and the foxy quilt. Just look:

Tunic dress.

Pajama bags! My sis had one of these when we were growing up and these brought an immediate smile to my face when I saw them.

Foxy quilt...Hello cute.
Not only is this book full of useful projects (must make pajama pants) but the book itself is beautifully designed and the photography is ace. I love that it includes full sized patterns and that the book is spiral bound so that it lays open while I'm working.


There are 18 huge pattern pages made from sturdy paper so they'll withstand repeated use.


I was so impressed with this book that I immediately ordered Pip's other book, Meet Me at Mikes, and I can't wait for it to arrive!
You can find out all about Pip at her blog and there is also a flickr group here where people can post their projects from Sew La Tea Do.
