    I’m convinced I NEED THIS BOOK! Thank you so much for documenting these sewing cases.

    Thank you Lisa! The anticipated release will be in September with preorders in August. Shortly after that, I’ll be working on volume 2.

    So looking forward to this. I portray an upper middle class lady of a certain age, who has extra time to do fancy work. o I am always looking for projects that fit the time frame.

    How much longer do we have to wait?
    Are you taking PreOrders?

    Hi Janet,
    What a perfectly wonderful question! Let me see if I can get my publisher to reply.
    btw – Your level of interest just made my day! Thank you.

    Publisher here (though my log-in is from my personal blog)… I’m so excited everyone is excited! Anna’s new book is quite lovely, and there are so many great projects to explore!

    David and I are working hard on the final bits that have to happen before we release the book. We’re going to shoot for opening pre-orders in the next week. When you pre-order, we’ll collect your payment information, but nothing will be charged until about 3 days before the books ship (we’ll send out a reminder email about 5 days before, just in case you’d prefer to change your payment type.)

    I can’t wait for everyone to enjoy this book! It’s a delightful volume, and just as well-done as we’ve all come to anticipate from Anna.

    We have considered offering a signed bookplate option on the pre-orders… anyone care to give feedback to that effect? You can comment here, or email me directly at: elizabeth@thesewingacademy.org

    I must say I treasure the signed book I have from You, Liz. So I am sure I will treasure Anna’s! You obedient student, Janet

    We’re working hard to get the pre-order pages ready to go. I’ll be sure to come back and update as soon as we’re ready. :)

    I have followed your blog for a while but I am a techno-dinosaur! I would like to be put on a pre-order or notification list for this book. Can’t wait!

    Hi Anna, Any update on availability of this book? I get a little distracted this time of year (work for a CPA firm so taxes seem to flood my life) and just don’t want to miss out.

    thanks,
    sherry key.

    Hi Sherry,
    We are still in the production mode at the publisher level. I’m glad to hear you are looking forward to the book. I’m sorry it isn’t yet available to distract you.
