Craft books in a library near you
This is waaay overdue seeing I took this photo on 29th February (leap year!). I won’t hesitate paying SGD1.55 to reserve a book from the NLB and if I like the book alot, I will buy it. So far I don’t recall owning any English craft books. 
You can find the following books at our local libraries and while they’re excellent books, I still feel that English craft books tend to be too wordy and not as “pretty” as Japanese craft books; I’m biased. 
| Craftivity: 40 Projects for the DIY Lifestyle (Paperback) by Tsia Carson ISBN-10: 0060841303 NLB Call No: English 746.434 STO -[ART] |
| Bend-the-Rules Sewing: The Essential Guide to a Whole New Way to Sew by Amy Karol ISBN-10: 0307347214 NLB Call No: English 646.2 KAR |
There’s a new craft book recently and it’s not in Singapore yet, I have pretty high hopes for this one and I’m putting it in my wishlist! 
| Printing by Hand: A Modern Guide to Printing With Handmade Stamps, Stencils, and Silk Screens by Lena Corwin (Author), Thayer Allyson Gowdy (Photographer) ISBN-10: 1584796723 |
I have “Craftivity” but haven’t made anything from it yet; though, I really do think the pom pom rug is totally cute and it is the second reason I wanted the book. The first reason is because it’s by Tsia.
Also, I have Bend the Rules Sewing and I LOOOove it; the patterns are totally cute and the instructions are easy to follow!
