Sew Organized for the Busy Girl blog hop and giveaway

So I am the lucky one to be kicking off the blog hop for Heidi Staples' wonderful new book, Sew Organized for the Busy Girl and giving away three copies of the book at the end of this post.  The rest of the stops along the tour are also listed at the bottom of this post.


This book is all about helping you to organise yourself so make time to sew and to fit sewing into your life and is beautifully styled with a real retro feel.


There are tips all about organising your sewing space, your fabric, your sewing supplies, your projects, as well as including a lovely list of projects to make to help you get and stay organised and to brighten up your sewing space.


There are also tips from other busy sewers (sewists?!) around the world, including a couple of little tips from me about how I stay (relatively) organised.
