I was absolutely thrilled to receive a copy of Amy Butler’s Style Stitches from Chronicle Books for review and giveaway. Amy Butler is definitely the Martha Stewart of the fabric world, and it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t know who she is. It’s even harder to find someone who doesn’t like her style. I not only love her fabric, but I love her patterns, especially her bags. She goes big most of the time, which I can totally appreciate. Do you understand how much stuff I have to carry? Probably, because most of you probably act as a pack mule on a daily basis like I do. If you love bags as I do, then you are going to love Style Stitches. Here are my five favorite things about this book.
1. Projects are organized by skill level. Not only that, but there are projects ranging from beginner to PhD of sewing (called advanced). I appreciate knowing the difficulty level of a project, because there is nothing more frustrating than starting a project and failing. Trust me – I’ve done this.
Note – if you’ve never sewn before, take a basic class before using this book. Beginner typically means “has exposure to the basics.”
2. The detailed instructions. Gee whiz, they are *very* detailed – and I like that. I think it’s especially important for people like me . . . people that are either returning sewers or beginner/intermediate sewers who want to be sure of what they are doing. I’m both a returning sewer (or now that I think about it, seamstress?) and intermediate. The instructions are a reassurance to me.
3. The variations on each bag that are provided. I’m not one of those people that can make pattern adjustments on the fly. I could probably think it through, but honestly . . . I don’t want to! There are 12 bag patterns, but each provides some variations for a total of 26 bag patterns. Thanks to Amy Butler for showing me how to switch bag handles to something else on the same base.
4. The awesome and beautiful pictures. Oh my goodness – Amy Butler’s husband David did the photography, and he really captured the greatness of the fabrics and the bags. Not only is this book instructional, but it’s inspirational.
5. The ruffled handbag (pictured above). Are you kidding? It’s absolutely gorgeous! I love, love this pattern. Speaking of patterns, they are complete, detailed and all in the back of the book. I would typically feel incompetent when trying to do a pattern such as the ruffled bag, but I have the confidence with this.
Any Amy Butler book is easy to love and I’m a bag fiend, so it’s a great relationship. I would like to give a copy away so that you too can enjoy the patterns too. You don’t even have to promise to make me a bag! All you have to do is read the rules below and leave a comment.
Rule reminder:
1. Comment on THIS blog entry. Why would you like to win this book?

I love Amy Butler! I would love to have this book to make some great bags as gifts for friends!

I love her fabric. I would love this book. I’ve been looking for a nice handbag pattern book so I can eventually learn to make my own designs. I’m still in the beginner stage of sewing life
I love her designs. This book looks like it has some great ones in it.
I would LOVE this book! Amy Butler is my idol!! LOL Seriously though she’s awesome and I always love anything she does.
(elisegeorgoussis@gmail.com)
This is perfect timing, I’ve been trying to find a book like this… this one looks perfect for me. I love the Amy Butler designs.
I Love LOVE her designs – unique, funky and totally stylish at the same time
I would love to win! I’m trying to do all homemade gifts this year (I’m a poor college student) and this would definitely help for some of the ladies in my life.

Oohh, this book is on my wish list! I puffy heart Amy Butler!
Hi Amy, I discover your blog recently and I love it! Plenty of great ideas and tutorials. And what I love the most is that everything is full of colors
I will love and cherish her with whole my heart!
Why would I like to have these book? Well…I love books, I love fabrics, I love colors and I love bags. I think these book is my perfect Christmas gift
A woman can never have enough bags
I would love to make some of the bags from this book, for myself and as gifts! Thanks for the giveaway!
(megancparsons@gmail.com)
I love Amy Butler’s fabrics, and the pictures you’ve shown all showcase incredible bags that I would love to carry! I love making my own purses, I’ve made several, but I tend to do them without patterns (sometimes this fails, and sometimes it is a great success). It would be interesting to see how other people do it, and maybe give it a go the proper way. This book would make a great addition to my collection of craft books! Thanks for the giveaway!
I LOVE her books! And I would definitely love to add this book to my crafty/sewing book collection! Thank you for offering it

I love Amy Butler designs & fabrics. Would love to have this book. Thanks for the giveaway.

This book would be a great way to sew myself a way to carry my stuff with a little more style than those recyclable grocery totes.
Two reasons: I have the world’s largest collection of truly ugly tote bags with advertising on them, or bad graphic design. I need something I’m not ashamed to carry. Second reason is the absurdly large stash of fabric I have accumulated over the years that I need to do something with because life is short and I don’t believe that the woman with the largest crafts stash wins. Reason three of the two reasons is that I love what I see in the pictures.
I would love to beable to do something other then baby and kid stuff… if I could be anyone in the world I would be Amy! love love love her!
I love making handbags and totes, usually I make them recycled from old clothes and jeans. My other love is collecting sewing and quilting books.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!
WOULD LOVE TO MAKE SOME NEW COLORFUL BAGS+TOTES! THANKS FOR SHARING!
jldouglas@wispwest.net
I would love to win this book as I could make some of the items within as gifts for my soul-sister and other members of my extended family.

I would love to have this book!! I love all the Amy Butler fabrics and patterns.. Would love to attempt to make these for my sisters and sisters in law.
I would LOVE to win this book because I’m tired of making the same old boring tote bags. I agree with you, Amy Butler is AMAZING!!
Fabulous Giveaway! What a great book to add to the collection. I would like to learn something different than the regular tote bag.
carleen1978@gmail.com
Amy Butler Rocks – not as much as Modge Podge of course – but seriously, her fabric and designs are just the right mix of funky and fun. I would love to win this book and make some of the gorgeous bags in it.
Thanks for the great giveaway.

These look fabulous! I would love to have this book because I am a beginning/low intermediate seamstress with a need for a large bag. I have a one year old and we’re hoping to have another soon, but it’s hard to find affordable funky diaper bags!
iluvchoclut@hotmail.com
I love her fabric & designs! I would love to win because I adore bags! My husband calls me the bag lady. I think it’s time for some new bags!!
Ohhhh!! I have just begun sewing and this would be a wonderful challenge! Besides… I could ALWAYS use a new bag. Or two. Or three
I just gave this book to my mother-in-law for Christmas. It was so hard to actually wrap it up and let it go. I’d love to win this copy. These are great bags for everything. And I do mean everything!

I would like to win this book because I have a sewing machine and don’t have any ideas of what to sew!
This book would look so pretty with all my other sewing books on the shelf. Not that I wouldn’t use it because I totally would! aprilshecon(AT)GMAIL(DOT)COM
Yes, please.
I am a bag addict (seriously, it’s bad) without the funds to be addicted…and I am also a fabric hoarder (seriously, it’s double bad) so I know I have the goodies ready to make some of her bags.
I love the photos – - incredible beyond the bags! And I love that she goes big. With two little kids, I have just about everything possible stuffed into my luggage…er, I mean, purse.
LOVE Amy Butler and all of her fabrics and patterns! Would LOVE to win! Thanks for the chance!
Oh I would LOVE this book! I really need a new bag badly and haven’t seen anything I love! I see a few in here I’d love to make!

Thanks for the opportunity.
Longtime fan of Amy’s fabrics and patterns…after sewing for 38 years I think it’s time to tackle a bag.
i would love her book because even though i have been making bags for years, i have yet to make myself a bag. i would love to use one of her patterns to make myself one:)

I love fabric…just love to stroll through bolts of fabric and feel each one! Would love this book!
I would love to have this book so I could make a bag for my sis (not Rose) to replace her ugly grey suede bag. There’s one in there that looks almost like her grey bag!!!!
I’d actually like to win this book for my daughter. She’s pretty good at sewing and where I’m mostly home decor stuff, she can handle clothing. I love Amy Butler’s fabrics and I think I’d like to try that tote pictured with the yarn myself!
I love this book and I don’t even have it! I would love to have it so I can feed my obsession with bags. It really is an obsession! Please!!!!
I love to make all different kinds of bags and could really use some new patterns! I would love this book!
I’d love to win this bag to help me get back into sewing. It would also be great for gift making!
I would love this book. I have always wanted to try and make a bag. It would be fun to be able to make my own bags and customize them however I want them.

Thanks!

Great review for a great book! Making bags is what I like best with my sewing machine. I am learning how to make clothes, but sewing bags is what makes my heart beat faster.

Why would I love to win this? Ask me why not! Lol!
I love Amy Butler for one thing and bags are a great love of mine but I can’t afford lots, so being able to ake such gorgeous bags myself… wonderful! Please pick me!!
I love the ruffled bag. It would be great to have instructions on how to modify to have different versions of a purse. I would use this book to make gifts throughout the year for the many women in my life.
I love Amy Butler & I love sewing books – what more is there to say?
I don’t sew, but this post makes me want to! Beautiful bags!
I drool over Amy’s fabrics often! I would love this book as would many others I am sure. This year for Christmas gifts I am doing all handmade items and this would be an awesome addition to what I can make. As always <3 the blog!

Who doesn’t love Amy Butler – sigh … still waiting for my local store to get her latest collection in. This book would be fantastic and I might even be persuaded to share it with my friends…
Whoah. As a student, I always have so much stuff that overfills my messenger bag. A lack of a real purse or a laptop bag means everything gets scrunched into one of those reusable shopping totes from Publix! Even if I don’t win, this is going right on my extensive Amazon wishlist. Thanks for posting this!
strummerdundee@gmail.com
I would love to win this book! I have some bags I would like to make for the women in my family. And I could use a new bag or 2 myself!

I would like to win this because a girl can NEVER have too many bags, and I would love to have a book to make some myself.
I would love to win this because I have just gotten into sewing purses and new bag patterns (especially Amy Butler!) would make me oh so happy!
I have been making some bags for gifts. I need ideas for some different patterns.

I want to win because Amy B is my favorite designer in patterns, fabric, anything scrapbooking and yarn!! Her book is a must have for me.
arlindafelix@gmail.com
I rarely buy sewing books, b/c I rarely use the patterns in them…I can’t justify spending $$$ we don’t have on “eye-candy”. This book is different. I have used Amy’s patterns before and I really enjoy them. There are several bags in this book I really want to try. I’d love to receive the book in this give-away, b/c I don’t know when I’ll be able to justify a non-necessary purchase like this.
~Ruth (ruthelizabethdesigns@gmail.com)
