Sewing School: 21 Sewing Projects Kids Will Love To Make

This is perfect for any child that is interested in making things. Yes it is American and therefore the directions are in inches not centimetres but it is a wonderful introduction to sewing and how to deal with patterns. The patterns are supplied in a 'pocket' in the inside of the back page. Very clever and clear patterns for 5 years and upwards making small toys by hand sewing to making useful items with a sewing machine e.g a skirt or an apron or cushions etc. Illustrations make everything very clear and work by children also making these things are shown. So the work does look home made and original.Cutting the patterns is so well shown. Very difficult to find such a great introduction for children on dealing with patterns and cutting out material and learning the basics in such an exciting way.

I bought this for my 8 year old who wants to learn to sew. She has been very enthusiastic and has made several of the projects so far. She's really keen to be independant and this book is great for that. The instructions are clear, and the projects are achievable by kids of this age, even on their own. She can sometimes get discouraged when things don't look exactly right. The realistic pictures in this book are really helping to build her confidence with hand sewing as her finished items look like the ones shown. She's already planning her next project and we're starting to build up a sewing kit of her own (so she can stop stealing mine!)

My 12 year old granddaughter loved this

If your wanting to start to teach a small group of children this is a great book to start with. Gives you clean instructions and you get all the patterns for 21 sewing tasks. Brilliant book will buy the second one . And a great price too.

I purchased this to accompany a sewing box for my 5 year old granddaughter - she is a bit of a perfectionist already so the great thing about this book is that the sewing projects have been completed by children and are not all perfect. It starts with the most simple task and goes through to making simple articles with a first machine. It also has a comprehensive list of items required for your first sewing basket.

This book is part of a gift for my grandaughter, so as yet I have not seen the patterns as they are sealed in the back.But I have read and looked through this book and find it wonderful,full of ideas and lnfo thankyou

I think its hard to choose a sewing book as it depends on your child's ability and sense of style I guess ,I did't think she would like this as she is quite precise at the moment although maybe she would , however I sent it back as I didn't really like the projects.

We bought this a part of a Xmas gift for a young friend who is learning to sew. The spiral binding means she can turn a page and it goes flat so very easy to continue to read. The projects look interesting and achievable

I liked the projects in the book, great pictures. Wonderful directions for a beginner learning to sew.

Tante idee ben illustrate che fanno venire voglia anche agli inesperti di cominciare a cucire. In inglese, sono fascicoli messi in una sorta di raccoglitore. Dimensioni non piccole... Regalo di Natale perfetto!! non vedo l'ora che mia figlia lo scarti : )

i love this book, very easy to understand for a young sewist. my daughter is already working on her third project within one week.

I bought this book for my 11 year old, she had recently received her first sewing machine and I wanted a super basic instructional book for a beginner. This book was a perfect fit for her, it provided a variety of different projects that combined both hand stitched and sewing machine projects which she loved. The projects are easy to follow with lots of great photos to help you throughout. The sewing projects themselves are adorable, skill level appropriate and the author does a wonderful job of choosing projects that a beginner would actually want to do.

My 9 year old niece had taken an jnterest in sewing so this book will be great. Clear photos and instructions for a varied range of small projects
