As I got home I struggled to find room for them (need more book shelves) and was somehow surprised at the amount of sewing books I have managed to accumulate in 7 months. A lot of times I browse the book, get some general ideas and put it aside as a reference book. That sort of bugs me! I want to be able to read it all, find out exactly it's contents, if instructions are easy, etc, etc. So what's stopping me? Nothing other than myself.
I decided I will get all the books I purchased so far and aim to read and use them and do a review in this blog! All in agreement, I would aim for one book review a month to be published on the last Sunday of the month, starting March (too soon to do it February).
By no means am I saying that I'm a professional reviewer or critic and I know there are tons of places to get book reviews but I think this will be a good chance to read a (potentially) more in-depth review by someone with a limited sewing experience. It will also "push me" to read it :)
How does this sound to you all? It is something you would like to read?
Sounds great - I'm looking forward to reading your reviews :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I do the same thing. Buy a sewing book and have every intention of reading it all. Ha! Maybe you reading your sewing books will inspire me to read mine. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, I am still looking for that ultimate sewing book! Because I teach sewing skills to theatre students it might even help me find a recommended text for them. Looking forward to the first review!
