1. Doodle Stitching: Embroidery & Beyond: Crewel, Cross Stitch, Sashiko & More
by Aimee Ray
This book has a whole bunch of cute projects that use needlepoint techniques such as embroidery (a quilt, a pouch, a doll skirt, among other projects), applique (apron, cuff, and cuckoo clock project), redwork and crewel (scarf, messenger bag, family tree), Sashiko and Shisha (placemats, curtain, skirt), and cutwork and stumpwork (pincushion, bookmark, and throw pillow).
2. New Dress a Day: The Ultimate DIY Guide to Creating Fashion Dos from Thrift-Store Don'ts
by Marisa Lynch
This is the book that was born of the fabulous blog New Dress a Day in which author Marisa Lynch took on a challenge to DIY ONE OUTFIT every day on a budget of just $1! The following 365 days resulted in tons of cute looks that were refashioned from thrifted or cast-off clothing. Imagine a muu-muu being transformed into a cute little dress, and you get the picture. You'll love the blog, and the book is awesome too! You'll find a whole variety of DIY fashion projects, from dresses, to t-shirts, to making costumes from thrift store finds.
Knit Your Own Zombie: Over 1,000 Combinations to Rip 'n' Reassemble for Horrifying Results
by Fiona Goble
You can probably imagine that my three boys were pretty big fans of this book when it arrived in the mail. The knit zombie patterns are really adorable (adorably creepy!), and you can customize them by assembling the dolls any way you want, using different parts of patterns for ghoulish torsos and malformed limbs. Patterns for a classic zombie, Frankenstein's Monster (the original zombie!), a zombie cop, and even a female zombie fatale are including, among other patterns.
Return of the Stupid Sock Creatures: Evolutions, Mutations, and Other Creations
by John Murphy
I tell ya what you're gonna do. You're gonna buy some funky socks at the dollar store, then you're gonna make a whole load of cute "stupid sock creatures." This book is full of lots of fun creatures to make out of socks! Visit John's site for more Stupid Creatures.

The pom pom one looks like it would fit the most with my skills. I’d love to do the dress one, but my sewing is very limited (buttons, small holes, etc.)
I want the sock creatures! They’re fun!
I want the adventures in pompom land book! thanks for the giveaway!
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE that new dress a day book. Looks so fun!!
Knit Your Own Zombie. I knit while I watch The Walking Dead every Sunday! How fun would it be to knit a zombie while watching them.
I think that the pompom one would be perfect for me! I love sweet little crafts like that!
embroidery and zombies what’s not to lovd
So hard to choose from such great books but Knit Your Own Zombie. I am a horror crafting junkie and the zombies are so scarily cute!
They all look neat but I’m especially interested in New Dress a Day!
Hard Hard question which book. They are pretty incredible. Embroidery and beyond. Real hard to decide such great choices.
I’d love the first book! :)
I would love them all, but the doodle stitching book would be my 1st pick.
Embroidery and Beyond looks great!
Adventures in pompom land for me! Looks adorable!

The New Dress a Day blog is soooo inspiring! I bet the book is even better!
Pick Me, Pick Me!!! Wow 5 new craft books and they all look great.
I think I would try out the Pompom and the Dress A Day one first and
then move on to the others. Thanks for the chance.
They all seem very interesting and helpful for me right now, I´m a new seamstress and I started by making some thing for my daughter so in the Doodle Stitching book I see potencial in how to embelish my creations. In the Return of the Stupid Sock Creatures and Adventures in Pompom Land books I see how I could make toys and gift for her and our friends that would be a hit! Knit Your Own Zombie, would be the favorite of my guy, he is a zombie freak, and I see marketing potencial, those zombies would sell at my local arts and crafts fairs. Finally in New Dress a Day I saw something unique, (besides the marvel of creating goirgeous clothes) she wrote from the heart, from her experiences and it it seeps through when you read it, that book`s preview gave me the overall feeling of talking fashion to a friend, so I would choose that one…
Would love to win! Love the zombies!
