The Mary Frances Sewing Book
The story of a little girl who wanted to sew.... but more than a story! It tells, in story form, how Mary Frances learns to sew from the sewing tools in her grandmother's sewing room who talk to her. What she doesn't learn from the thimble people, the Fairy Lady is there to teach her. An enchanting hardbound, cloth covered book. Ages 6 to adult.

Wooden Sewing Needles
Exclusively ours! It's so nice to finish up your knitted and crocheted projects with these special wooden needles.
