Lotta Prints

I got my copy of Lotta Jandsdotter’s Lotta Prints in the mail yesterday and I’m so inspired now!  I already had a copy of her Simple Sewing  in my possession and, while it is an equally lovely, approachable book, I was deep in the throes of projects from Amy Karol’s Bend-the-Rules Sewing at the time and didn’t want to switch inspiration just then.  Lotta Prints, though!  It’s one of those must.do.this.now kind of books.  Her instructions are crystal clear and the photos taken by her best friend, Jenny Hallengren, show the connection between Lotta’s designs and what she sees around her. I’ve already run out to buy several bottles of fabric paint and some cheap stencil brushes to work on some stencil designs (hopefully!) this afternoon.  Or maybe some potato prints with the girls…
