Welp Fae Folks,
You know your boy Witchen Craften doesn't usually make serious posts but I figure with my 5 seconds of internet fame coming to a close, I would like to recommend an especially good book that I just found in my local library!✨
Raechel Henderson's Sew Witchy is genuinely my favorite book on both the craft and sewing and I cannot put it down. I don't know why! It's been like eons since I've completed an actual project, let alone anything imbued or enchanted but this book is so incredibly inspiring for everything your witchy heart desires and then some things you didn't know you need but now really, really want (specifically the constellation sleep mask and scented coasters, I'm over the moon thinking about them).
Not to mention, Henderson's associations of the elements with certain sewing tools, like Earth with pins, as they hold the piece together in stable solidarity with itself or scissors being associated with air as what frees and changes the fabric of the piece. I highly recommend even just the early chapters that don't include the design ideas because of just her amazingly interesting insight. That was the first time I like ever consciously read the prologue to a sewing book before and I most definitely don't regret it.
So please check out the book! Whether from your local library or online if said library offers it, or if you can even buy the book! Hell, I plan on getting it because once you open it you straight up don't want to put it down, unless of course, you're starting one of the projects within it. And if you like it, please support Henderson's career and buy a copy! If she's still able to keep writing for a living, then that means another project most likely even better than this, so please check out Sew Witchy!
