Amazon Customer: My daughters (10 and 9) are learning to see. This book allows them to make actual clothing, and not just a pillow or something boring. They love it!

Anne: Pricey for what it is, but the book itself is very cute and is definitely appropriate for an older child (9ish) just learning on their first sewing machine.
Great little starter ideas for firsts projects to build their confidence and give a bit of simple experience before diving into the tougher stuff. If money isn't an issue then I highly recommend this book, but I'm sure you could find something similar for half the price if you looked around. But again, it is a great starter book!

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: I bougth this book together with other two books: "sewing school 21 sewing proyect kids will love to make" by amie petronis, and the other, "learn to sew: kids, my first sewing machine book" by alison mcnicol. Two books by alison mcnicol has same contents 'til 25th, 26th pages. So I wanted return this one but amazon tell me they will refund me the money without send back the book! Amazing service and great surprise! It's a very good book for my little girl, only not want two books telling me the same things.

Jade: I bought this a year ago for my little sister who is a keen sewer. It was probably aimed at a bit younger than she was but was perfect for her starting out and she managed to tweak some of the patterns to make her own. She had a lot of fun with this and has now passed it on to my other little sister.

Bev: I purchased this for my 10 year old niece who wanted to learn to sew. I looked at several different books, read reviews, and decided on this one. Here's why:

1) Cute and modern projects. It has projects for useful and cute items to make that a girl of today would actually want to wear or use. Being excited about a project is half the battle. I remember in 4-H and in Home-Ec being forced to make hideous projects we would never use and wear, and it took the joy out of learning to sew for me.

2) Simple construction and quick gratification. There are lots of basics in this book (which is why it's good for a beginner of course). The projects are simple and quick to construct. You don't want to overwhelm the child and cause them to hate sewing by giving them difficult and time consuming projects right off the bat!

3) Age appropriate drawings, graphics and wording. If you want a simple book for a young girl, this is a perfect choice. Don't expect an encyclopedia of stitches, a professional grade instruction manual, or an "everything there is to know about sewing" resource.

Do expect a great, age/audience/project appropriate book for young beginners.

LoveMyAmazon: Got this and another book for my aspiring fashion designer daughter who is 8. Also bought a little machine...but ummm-that was a flop and doesn't work so we haven't had much use for this book obviously. At least the books are decent quality. Not super in depth which is good for young kids. Has good ideas that could potentially be orchestrated IF you are lucky enough to purchase a machine that works-lol. Id recommend the books-they are cute and colorful and good quality.
