Sewing: the new knitting?

I am trying very hard to not let this take over my life, but it's not easy. I have decided I'm very interested in owning these books at some point. I most likely won't buy them all anytime soon, but eventually I'd like at least a couple of these books on my shelf.


I own Start to Sew, Sewing 101: A beginner's guide to sewing, and Bend-the-Rules Sewing: The Essential Guide to a Whole New Way to Sew so far. [info]msbluerasp, the Sewing 101 book here is the one I think you'd like. It's pretty nifty.

Also, I need to find more sources for fabrics and notions. Thanks to [info]msbluerasp, I learned the goodness of Etsy, but I have to admit it scares me a little. I'm afraid it will become an addiction, especially with all the many choices!

[info]louenn brought up a good point in a comment, and I'm curious to know how many others agree. So, a poll!
