Thanks to the always amazing and super-cool craft blog Not Martha, we were tipped off to yet another book release by a trend-setting designer.  This time, it’s a how-to by one of my very faves, Lotta Jansdotter, to whom I have been wonderously devoted ever since I purchased this delightful tissue box cover.

It’s Lotta Jansdotter’s Simple Sewing: Patterns and How-To for 24 Fresh and Easy Projects.  Simple sewing - yeah right.  But if anyone can simplify for a craft-challenged gal like Aunt Beep, it would be Lotta.

From Amazon:

Internationally celebrated designer Lotta Jansdotter collects 24 of her most popular sewing patterns into one irresistible collection. Our innovative packaging makes for easy use reusable pattern sheets are neatly tucked into a folder inside this full-color, lay-flat spiral bound book. Lotta has included patterns for handy tote bags, smart aprons, chic bed linens, and much more. Each project is paired with step-by-step instructions, charming photographs, inspiring design ideas, and helpful, hand-drawn how-to illustrations everything you need to make whimsical pieces for the home and beyond. Best of all, there’s nothing complicated about the projects. Never has simplicity looked so sophisticated.
