So sorry not to get to this when I said I would – a poorly little boy prevented me, but on the plus side he now has 3 teeth to show for it (and I have about a million new grey hairs.) I really loved reading about the first things you made – I’m only sorry I didn’t have a prize for everyone. Here goes:
My home is overflowing with books, but as someone who has just inherited a fabulous old Bernina (and with not much of a clue as to how to use it!) I am intrigued when I read reviews of books on the subject, especially when they say that they wish they had had them when they first started out! another one to add to the wish list perhaps..are there any other books you would recommend to someone who has also just made her first (three) cushion covers?!x
Oh the luck of the girl – wins my giveaway but also inherits a Bernina! Pfff. A Bernina! Congratulations Anna 
. I’ll answer your questions about sewing books under your comment, but if anyone wants to pitch in with a suggestion, feel free.
Thanks Joanne, I am delighted with my Bernina AND the book and fabric! I have had lots of disgusted looks and the shaking of heads from people when I have mentioned the fact that I have inherited said machine and have no idea how to use it to it’s full potential. Also had quite a few offers from people to take it off my hands! Nope, it shall remain here and I will be loving it and learning to use it as was intended!x
