ReplyDeleteMelissa - sassyfrasdesigns at gmail.com
I love the clear and easy instructions! :)
ReplyDeleteI love how versatile the patterns are!
ReplyDeleteThis book would become a well-used reference guide in my sewing room... something that would provide great reminders on those infrequently used skills or help to polish older skills! I would absolutely LOVE to win a copy!
ReplyDeleteAfter a sewing hiatus of 20+ years, I am finally beginning to sew for my 4 granddaughters. Your site helps me so much to re-hone my skills! thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am a great grandmother and have found I am never too old to learn something new. Enjoy your The Scientific Seamstress.
ReplyDeleteI love learning new methods and tricks of the sewing trade. I'm sure I could learn a lot from this book. Also, I really like Scientific Seamstress patterns.
ReplyDeleteI just started my first Scientific Seamstress pattern and I love it. This book looks like a fantastic reference.
ReplyDeleteHaving a visual guide all in one place….priceless!!
ReplyDeleteScientific Seamstress patterns are my favourites!!! They are definitely my go to patterns. I would LOVE to win an ecopy of the book!!!!!! PLEASE!
ReplyDeleteI love Scientific Seamstress Patterns for many reasons...I love the designs, the meticulous directions & details, along with individual pattern pieces for each size...!! ;o}
ReplyDeleteYour patterns helped get me back into sewing after hating sewing as a teen. The easy to follow directions made sewing much more fun!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a brilliant resource to have around for those days when you have a quick question in the middle of a project.
ReplyDeleteI am very excited about getting to see this book. I will first get a copy from the library to check it out, but I love your approach to sewing. Like you I am part scientist part sewist, just less accomplished.
ReplyDeleteConfidence is the first word that came to my mind also. i've always enjoyed sewing and throwing together simple dresses. i've even been known to take a sleeve from one pattern and a skirt from another and mash things together, but i thought altering sizes and coming up with a professional tailored look was beyond me. my guys looked so sharp in their Marco and Ethans and i made myself a dress that i could nurse my baby in. Thank you so much, Carla!
ReplyDeleteEven though I have been sewing for many years, there seems to be times when there is a better way to do something. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love SS patterns because of their great fit and fabulous directions and diagrams. I'm sure the new book is full of amazing new tips and methods.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I have never bought a pattern from you. I love your bias tape maker; I think it's miraculous, and so is the tutorial for doll t-shirts. I want this book and I will buy it for sure if I don't win it.
ReplyDeleteI would like to have a definitive book on sewing in my collection. I know that 'google' is my friend, but sometimes I just want to see it in my hands (ie, a book). I have 2 of your patterns waiting to be sewn up. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love the Facebook fan page. So many helpful ladies and such pretty items are made.
ReplyDeletewould love a good reference book. I dont have any currently and usually have to google for more info. What I saw on amazon for this it appears very informative and resourceful. Thank you for opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI just want a reference tool for next to my sewing machine, so I don't have to run to the computer and look things up :) Thanks for everything you do!
ReplyDeleteSo far have just sewed Jenny, but have plans, as soon as I find the perfect fabric! I loved the pattern: the directions with clear diagrams or photos, the unique tips (gluestick-basted zipper??), the non-nested patterns that I can print just a range for my size! Perfection.
ReplyDeleteI recently took over my mom's sewing machine and am fairly new to the world of sewing... but I am already addicted! Your website, blog, facebook page, pinterest page... I love them all. They are packed with wonderful ideas! I am dying for my own sewing room so I can hang my own periodic table of sewing elements!
ReplyDeleteAwesome book! A wealth if information!
ReplyDeleteI'd really like to start garment making for my daughters so this would be pretty awesome to have on hand. Thanks for the chance to win a copy!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this book, because as many times I've done buttonholes, I cant get them lined up & I'm sure this book will help me out :)
ReplyDeletelearning how to alter clothes better would be such fun and really improve my sewing skills. thanks for the chance to enter!

I have a reference sewing book from, I think, the 1960's. My mom bought it at a yard sale. I would love to have something so relevant and detailed as this one. What a great book!
ReplyDeleteWhere do I start when trying to say why I love SS patterns???
ReplyDeleteComprehensive, consice, clear and thorough instructions. Everything explained in the minuetest detail. Loads of pictures and diagrams.
Carla leaves nothing for even the beginner sewer to fear, and her patterns are a delight to sew from.
My grandmother taught me to sew years ago. I lost interest for awhile in my younger years. But I came back to it and to her teaching. Unfortunately, she passed away not long after. I have inherited her sewing room or the objects in it at least. I love the Scientific Seamstress because she uses the same terms and wording as my grandmother. It's like she's teaching me again. I can only imagine how homesick I will be for her when reading this book.
ReplyDeleteI would love to learn some techniques to help me be a better sewer. This book likes it would be amazing!
