Girls Style Book

Do you have a little one with style? Then my my, do we have a treat for you. Yoshiko Tsukiori’s stunning Girls Style Book has just been released to the English-speaking world, and by gosh, it’s a beauty. Crisp, sweet and modern, with minimalist Japanese styling and a sprinkle of bird-themed retro, this divinely photographed, 24 project guide to dressing girls size 2-10 will have us all manically reaching for the sewing machine. Thanks to Penguin, we’ve got two copies to giveaway to some very lucky readers. For your chance to win, simply comment below telling us what’s been your favourite Peppermint sewing or craft project so far – or what you’d like to see next! If you don’t have a little one of your own to sew for, don’t despair. While dressing up the cat is always an option, a far better one is to check out Yoshiko Tsukiori’s gorgeous titles for adults – the Stylish Dress Book and Happy Homemade vol 1 – all driven by her desire to share ‘the pleasure of making with all’. Love. {Comp closes 5pm on March 27th, 2012 – Aus only}
