About this ebook
A beginner’s guide and visual dictionary for young people who want to learn to sew, packed with photos: “Some of the coolest projects we've seen.”—Kiki Magazine
With this book by Sophie Kerr—with some help from her parents, Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr of Modern Quilt Studio—kids can learn how to navigate a sewing machine, make smart fabric choices, and use basic sewing tools. Sixteen kid-friendly projects run the gamut from clothes to bags to accessories, while clear, step-by-step instructions walk kids through the creation of each.
Throughout the book, tips from Sophie offer design and construction advice from a kid's perspective—and move from simpler to more complex projects as kids’ skills develop. The book "grows" with the sewist, offering more complex project as the reader's skills develop. It also functions as a visual dictionary of tools, materials, and terms that will be a go-to reference for young sewists.
