Craft Porn

Today I thought I'd share my favourite craft & sewing books with you.  But first I'll let you know why I use the term craft porn...

Where I work we have access to the internet but it's filtered.  Obviously we can't access any type of pornography, gambling, online auctions etc.  You also can't look at blogs which is where all the good crafty stuff is. 

There are many craft sites I would like to be able to browse in my lunch break, but the dreaded red screen stating Unauthorised Access keeps popping up!  If I did a Google image search on anything naughty, I could get thousands of pages of soft (and not so soft) porn, but a site on how to use invisible zippers or sew blind hems?  No.

So now I call craft blogs and websites my craft porn.  I do have an unnatural addiction to them.... and they do get me excited... 

And now to the books that excite and inspire me.  Two were gifts to myself for no reason what so ever, the other was a recent birthday gift from my two best friends. 


The latest addidtion to my collection


The first book that inspired me to start collecting


A super pretty book that always cheers me up!

So there you go!  If you share my love of craft & sewing books, I'd love to hear about some of your favourites.  Just comment below to share.

  2. Kelly Doust also has The Crafty Kid which I would love, and Cath Kidston has Make! to add to my collection later on. One Yard Wonders is next on my list though.
