I
am so excited to have received a copy of Sewing for Kids:
30 Fun Projects to Hand and Machine Sew from
Rockridge Press in exchange for my honest opinion. While I was under
no obligation to provide a positive review, it is my pleasure and
privilege to do so. My oldest two granddaughters recently asked me to
schedule regular times to work with them to teach them how to sew.
This book is just the resource I needed to make the most of these
times together. Alexa Ward who runs her own sewing school called
Brooklyn Sewcial, and generously shares 30 of the projects she has
had success working on with her students. One of my favorite
attributes is that the projects start off easy and get a little more
complex as they go. Skills are introduced then practiced on future
projects as new skills are introduced. The projects are fun, and
often useful rather than just decorative. The first section includes
hand sewing projects, and the second machine sewing projects. Basic
information on both types of sewing is clearly explained and
accompanied by photographs. I feel much more equipped to teach the
girls to sew having this book in hand. I highly recommend it to
others who are blessed to have young girls to teach in this special
art.
