Wenlan Chia's latest book, Twinkle Sews

When I was at the showroom last month I got a chance to browse through Twinkle Sews. It was sort of like being a kid in a candy store. There were a number of handmade fashions that caught my attention -- quintessential Twinkle! If you're looking for a gift for your budding fashion designer, this book is perfect.
