FrugalSewing.com Bookstore
Welcome to the FrugalSewing.com bookstore. We've searched through various affiliates for the best deals. Don't forget you can always get books new or used at Amazon.com, eBay, and Half.com. We also recommend stopping by your local library to check out sewing books. Look in the nonfiction section, Dewey Decimal 640 for home economics & family living and/or 646 sewing, clothing, personal living. Don't forget to check the children's area of the library for easy-to-sew books. A lot of the books we'll bring you here for purchase are about how to sew and special projects using scraps and items you have on hand. Since I have a personal passion for all things junk denim and sewing for 18" dolls, you'll probably see a few of those here too. Have fun browsing!
