First Sewing Book Purchase

Look what I scored at my local Goodwill store.  I have gone in there a million times and thought I looked through all the books never to find any sewing books.  Come to find out I never made it to the very last bookshelf.  Lo and behold this was staring right into my face.  I dare not tell about the happy dance I wanted to do.  I know there is a newer version but for $2.62 this one will do for the moment.

I also picked up this Coats and Clark Book.  Don't they look happy together!!!  I can't wait to thumb through the both of them a little bit more.

These are my first ever sewing book purchases.  I usually just check them out from the library but I am happy to call these my firsts.

  1. The Reader's Digest book was the text book when I took sewing in college! Enjoy your treasures!

  2. The information in books never goes out of style and the Reader's Digest Sewing booking is an excellent reference.

  4. I prefer the old Reader's Digest to the new one. I got my 1970 version for a few dollars at a swapmeet. And as a bonus, the home decor section is hilarious! Enjoy those books and Happy Holidays!
