Sewing for Boys Book Review & Giveaway!!! [CLOSED]

[Thank you to everyone who entered the Sewing for Boys book giveaway.]

I'm so excited today to be included in the Sewing for Boys Book blog tour.  If you haven't caught wind of it until now, the owners of Patterns by Figgy's, Shelly and Karen, co-authored a book!  And I know you'll be excited to hear that it's all about sewing for boys (of course I've already picked out quite a few projects that will be fun to make for my girls, too).

They did a fantastic job of compiling an awesome collection of 24 projects geared towards sewing for boys, you know, the most neglected gender in the sewing realm.  I'm so happy because it falls at no better time than my cute little nephew, Grant's first birthday!  I can't imagine being able to resist sewing things for him.  It's fun to dig through the 'ol fabric stash and find some goodies and think of how he might look in them, start walking in them, throw food at his parents in them, you get the picture....

So here's my version of the Easy Linen Shirt.  And guess what, it IS easy!  Probably the most fun and rewarding project I've made in a long time.  It required minimal effort and time to complete, has impeccable instructions, and is so cute!

I loved that they have all sorts of information on finishing seams, great techniques that you'll use over and over again.

I can't wait to sew up a couple pairs of Treasure Pocket Pants like Ashley, or maybe I'll give myself a challenge with The Henry Shirt like Meg did.  Definitely go check out the screaming deal on their book over at amazon!
