Sewing School

Learn the basics and beyond! Much more than project instructions, this book gives children all they need to know to develop individual sewing skills (and then be able to apply them), presented in a fun, colorful format with lots of photos.

Fix a stuffed animal or turn a favorite t-shirt into a pillow — all these creative projects were chosen for their appeal to children. Covers all the basics (setting up a work area, proper use of sewing tools, choosing materials) and adds plenty of tips for adults and children.

Includes hand- and machine-sewing projects, actual-size patterns, glossary, index, further resources, and a ruler on the back cover.
