Miss Scarlet's School of Patternless Sewing by Kathy Cano-Murillo
We only have this book as an audiobook. It was an amusing book to listen to. Miss Scarlet comes from a family of engineers and it was natural that she become one also. But she lacks a passion for it. It was her Nana who introduced her to the world of sewing. On the verge of starting an engineering career she realizes that she just can't do it. Certainly her fiance can understand that - well, apparently he can't. Leaving him behind she goes along with her dream- but it isn't easy. To finance her chance to work with a famous designer in NYC she decides to teach a sewing class. There is a little romance, a bit of mystery and some fun characters. I especially liked the descriptions of Miss Scarlet herself. She is inspired by a designer from the 50's and she usually dresses that way herself. Her blog is filled with pep talks and suggestions for people to improve their lives. An enjoyable listen when you want something on the lighter side.
