Editorial Reviews

Many crafters are intimidated by the prospect of sewing clothing. But when there are young children in your life, what a joy it is to see them wearing unique, handmade outfits that money can't buy. Sue Kim's book of clothing projects to make for children from one to five years old was written with the express goal of making sewing clothes less intimidating and more achievable for those with little previous experience. She begins with well-illustrated instructions for the basics; how to read clothing patterns, how to make a gathered skirt and attach it to a bodice, even how to sew a hem. The skill level required for each project is marked, and the step-by-step instructions are generously illustrated with close-up photographs and diagrams.
