So I finished reading this the other night. I absolutely loved it. Even if you don't watch Sewing Bee you should read this book because her account of the 60s and 70s was just so neat. What a cool, good person. I adore her. Long live Esme. #pukapuka#aotearoacraft

Oh awesome, will have to get a copy

Oooh I’ve been wondering if this is available on audiobook- I’d love to hear it in her own voice. Although I would probably imagine her voice while reading in my head.

My kids describe Sewing Bee as "one judge from Savile Row, one judge who did coke with Bowie in the 70s"

It really made me appreciate what she contributes to sewing bee more.It really made me appreciate what she contributes to sewing bee more.

Now on reserve from the library. Thank you very much 😊

I feel like this is the kind of book I need to acquire two copies of so R and I can read it at the same time and compare notes. (We've only done that once or twice before, and it's fun!)

I am getting this book now. I adore this woman
