Fun Book with Lots of Ideas

Fun with Yarn and Fabric is a book full of great ideas. The ideas range from crochet, to embroidery, to sewing. They were ideas for holidays as well as decorating your home. This was a fun book to browse through. I picked up a few ideas. I’m sure you will, too.

This book is almost exactly like her other! Photos and patterns are repeated to the point of this book almost being a duplicate of "YARN, YARN, YARN". What a disappointment.
