Publisher Description
Sometimes to find your life's true path, you have to stray outside the lines . . . Scarlet Santana is never happier than when creating fabulous fashions for women of all shapes and sizes. Now, after years of hard work, she finally has the chance to live her dream and study under the hottest designer in New York. To raise money for her move, Scarlet opens an after-hours sewing school in a local record shop, teaching a type-A working mom whose rigid parenting style is causing her family to unravel and an enigmatic seamstress with a mysterious past. But as stitches give way to secrets and classmates become friends, the women realize an important truth: There is no single pattern for a good life. Happiness is always a custom fit.

" This one is so different than what I've read in the past and very refreshing! There is a little mystery, romance, relationship mending and patternless sewing involved! "

" I got this as an audio book and it made my commute fly by. Very light hearted book. I liked Scarlet's creativity! "
— Mary, 2/12/2014 -
" Total chick lit, instead of the knitting and quilting takes sewing to a hole new level. Funny and sweet. "
— Lisa, 2/12/2014 -
" Picked it up for the observation that I *REALLY* need some productive creative outlet for relaxing. Really enjoyed it. The protagonist is a bit flaky for my taste (dinged a star), but the other characters made the book. The ending was also a little far-fetched (dinged the second star), but still, an entertaining read especially if you're a Type A looking for a creative outlet! "

" This isn't my typical style of book, so I'm surprised how much I liked it. But the relationships between the women and their individual stories were really good. Even though the book was predictable in the Daisy connection, it was still really interesting the way it turned out. "
— Julie, 12/12/2013 -
" This was a fun read. The style annoyed me in the beginning, but I managed to live with it to learn more about the characters. It was somewhat predictable; however, there were some elements that I didn't expect. Nice beach or airplane read. "
— Trisha, 12/12/2013 -

" A sweet story, but a little too predictable and cheesy for me. "
— Jaime, 11/20/2013 -
" A feel good story based on the Latin American culture with some love interests, some mysteries and several uplifting messages. There were many references to fashion, music, Spanish phrases and foods. "
— Frances, 10/18/2013 -
" First edition contains typos. This bothers me immensely. "
— MaryKay, 10/7/2013 -
" Somebody HAS to make a movie from this book. It's so vivid, brightly colored from the clothes descriptions to the setting to the character. What the book captures best, however, is the passion to create art for everyday life. "

" This is a fun lady's book - what can be better than crafts, sewing, juicy rumors and no-so-blind ambition wrapped in an easy going story? Kathy Cano-Murillo is a Phoenix resident, well known local crafter and details the locale. I really enjoy her. "
