Chronicle Books Blog

Chronicle Books is thrilled to announce the release of 1, 2, 3 Sew: Build Your Skills with 33 Simple Projects—Bags, Accessories, Home Accents, and More by Ellen Luckett Baker, craft blogger and founder of The Long Thread. In the book, Ellen offers a wholly unique approach to sewing: she presents projects in groups of three, each building on the techniques used in the project before. It’s an essential resource for beginning and intermediate sewers alike.
