I’m a little biased since I know the author and his lovely wife but even if I didn’t I would still recommend this fun book. A delightful collection of short stories that anyone who sews or lives with someone who does will enjoy. Definitely laugh out loud funny!

I chuckled as I read Wehrman's funny anecdotes about immersing himself into his wife's sewing life and community during his attempt at retirement bliss. Treat yourself to this quick and humorous read!
