We can use this book!

I got my 8 year old this book and a Janome sewing machine for Christmas - and have been very pleased with both. My mother was a sewer, so I've been around it all my life, but I no longer have her and do not have half the skill she had. But my daughter loves getting crafty and wanted to try it. It has been a good purchase. We just finished making these three projects pictured for our county fair - the Fox bag with felt, a pencil case out of scrap fabric, and a laundry bag. They are not perfect. I can point out a dozen flaws, but we had a good time making them (most of the time, ha!) and we have

This book is perfect for my young sewers!

My kids LOVE sewing and this book has great visuals and enough written instruction that it’s clear what to do. I’m definitely happy with this purchase. The projects are simple enough that they are approachable for kids. Hours and hours of sewing fun!

Good first sewing book

A pretty good first sewing book. Fairly easy to understand and not too long so as to lose interest.

Great book for our Grandaughter

Our 10 year old grandaughter wanted a sewing machine which she loves as well as this book. Found several projects immediately and got her mother to take her to the fabric store to buy materials to make some of the projects in the book.

Useful!

When I got my granddaughters started on sewing, this book was part of the impetus to get them going. The girls pored over the book and after receiving their fabric they started sewing up projects in this book. The fox purse turned out adorable. The apron was perfect for their mom!
