pattsew.pngKathy Canu-Murillo's novel Waking Up In the Land of Glitter was a guaranteed favourite for craft-lovers, and her second novel in the Crafty Chica series is soon to be released. Miss Scarlet's School of Patternless Sewing is due for release in early March, and we're looking forward to reading! Here's the synopsis...

Sometimes to find your life's true path, you have to stray outside the lines . . .

Scarlet Santana is never happier than when creating fabulous fashions for women of all shapes and sizes. Now, after years of hard work, she finally has the chance to live her dream and study under the hottest designer in New York. To raise money for her move, Scarlet opens an after-hours sewing school in a local record shop, teaching a type-A working mom whose rigid parenting style is causing her family to unravel and an enigmatic seamstress with a mysterious past.

But as stitches give way to secrets and classmates become friends, the women realize an important truth: There is no single pattern for a good life. Happiness is always a custom fit.
