Description
Give a child a sewing kit, and they'll sew for a day; guide them through this book, and they'll sew for a lifetime! Written by 11-year-old Sophie (with help from her parents!), A Kid's Guide to Sewing teaches machine basics and sewing techniques that your child will use almost every time they sew, such as applique, zippers, quilting, and much more. It gives tips for working with a wide variety of sewing materials and notions, giving your aspiring tailor or seamstress a foundation to build on. If they run into a problem, the book gives practical advice to work around it or how to remedy the problem, depending on the issue. Flexible projects teach you how to make things bigger or smaller depending on the need, instead of (literally) the one-size-fits-all approach. I was very impressed but this book and loved the colorful photos, fun projects, and practical learning. Your child will surely enjoy making the blanket, bag, keychain, scarf, or project of his choice. 144 pgs, sc.
