I’ve been pretty darn sick these past few days, so here I am popping in again. Today the new issue of Adorn came to my mom’s house, which was so exciting. I’m used to getting to see the first copies and this time I had to wait like everyone else! (No matter how many layouts you pore over, there’s nothing like seeing it in print.)

It’s a new, larger size, and I really love the way it lets the projects and instructions breathe. There are all sorts of cool ideas (if I do say so myself)– click to get a sneak peek of the table of contents. My favorite thing I made for the issue is this ottoman cover- I felt seriously accomplished once I figured it out! I am in love with patchwork, and really really miss my sewing machine and fabric stash right now.

The other thing I love is that a lot of the projects in this issue involve recycling and using items you already have in your stash. So don’t forget to go grab it at Borders or Barnes and Noble in a few days, and remember that you can also buy it online.
