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.
Basic sewing machine information - parts of the machine, how to thread, etc. Some easy projects. The best thing was the pages with lines for the child to practice sewing (with no thread in the machine). They can learn to follow a straight line, curved lines, and how to stop and turn a corner.
I purchased the 'My First Sewing Machine' Fashion School book for a ten year old boy who is really into tailoring and clothes design. It was great for him to learn basic sewing machine skills and also move him onto his field of interest within the sewing and stiching world. Alison's books are written for both boys and girls so he really enjoyed learning from this book.Enjoy!My First Sewing Machine: FASHION SCHOOL: Learn To Sew: Kids
Haven't used this book yet. Bought it to help teach my grand daughter to sew. The projects seem to be very contemporary -- something that young girls would like. The instructions seem very easy to understand and not too complicated. I am looking forward to getting into the book and actually make one of the projects with my grand daughter.
This book is a great place to start for kids who want to learn how to knit. The projects are fun, colorful, and will appeal to the youngsters! The instructions are clear and easy to follow - I can't wait to get started with my son in teaching him how to knit his own creations.
This is more of a brochure than a book. I expected a beginner's tutorial of basic sewing skills, with some fun projects for a young sewer to try. This was not comprehensive AT ALL, and I can't see a young sewer using it as a reference. It's about 20 pages long. I expected more, frankly.
Got it my 7 year old daughter since she asked for her 1st sewing machine lesson this summer. Loved the picture of the skirt and the great reviews, so I decided to purchase. It's a small, flat book but has great pictures that are easy to understand. Can't wait to get started, Thanks!
This is the perfect book to start your kids knitting on. All basics are described in detail and the projects are fun and easy. Love it!
