The kits Joelle posted about are such a good idea, they reminded me that I got this book for Christmas. Although it doesn’t come with the fabrics the ideas inside The Cute Book truly are very sweet and unusual, including a pattern for a city gentleman in his suit. I think they’re mainly designed for hand sewing, mind, and I’m currently up to my ears in a tangle of machine-stitched scraps!

The Cute Book is by Aranzi Aronzo.

Coasters

Today was a fairly boring weekend morning, so I took Joelle’s recommendation (how come she can still think of places for me to go when she lives in London?) and sought out Reform School. No, not to cure myself of my bad behaviour; in fact Reform School is one of Silverlake’s many cute, innovative little shops. Silverlake is known for being an artsy, young neighbourhood and I’ve been driven through it a few times on the way to baseball games but had never actually stopped off there. I was delighted with Reform School; my boyfriend and I found the fantastic coasters above.
