Review: An Excellent Resource Book, Especially for Beginners, Even Adults - I cannot say enough good things about this book. I am a total novice to sewing. My 9 year old daughter asked for a sewing machine, and I was hesitant because I myself have no knowledge of using one. She was very insistent about owning a sewing machine. Honestly, I let the issue go for almost a year to make sure she was truly interested in sewing, plus I was intimidated by the idea of using a sewing machine. Well she kept insisting she wanted a sewing machine, and after extensive research I purchased a sewing machine and this book. I know you probably didn't need all of this background information, but I wanted you to know where I am coming from in reference to using this particular book. It has been the most informative and helpful reference I have used up to this point on using and caring for a sewing machine. I particularly like the fact that it uses a computerized sewing machine as a reference. All the other references uses standard sewing machines, and it was becoming overwhelming and confusing for me. This book breaks everything down into simple language. Yes children's language, but for me it was the best way to teach me and my daughter. The language is by no means condescending, but it is clear and concise. It reviews sewing must; such as, materials, tools, sewing machine parts, and the basics of sewing. I was particularly pleased with the basics of sewing section, because it includes measuring the body and fixing mistakes. The projects themselves are cute, simple, and practical. They include a simple pillow, a headband, backpack decorations, and a pool cover-up. These are just a few of the 16 projects, and they progress from simple to more complex. My daughter is so anxious to do all of the projects. Actually, I myself am excited to get started on the projects.
Review: A Great Resource for Kids' Learning to Sew - This is a fabulous book for young sewers! I saw an interview with the author, Sophie, and her mom on Nancy Zieman's "Nancy's Corner". She's a very impressive young lady! I ordered two of these: one for my 8 year old niece and one for me. That way, the two of us can talk sewing long distance. I can also use my copy as a reference for my after-school sewing club. This book has good photography (lots of pictures) and great descriptions. Sophie teaches how to use basic sewing tools and the basics of the sewing machine. There are many projects that appeal to young people such as bags, some clothes, and accessories. It offers a tangible and valuable alternative to watching TV. Besides, learning some sewing skills helps a child throughout life. I highly recommend this book for youngsters learn to sew. And I hope Sophie keeps providing inspiration to young people for a long time to come.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Sewing Book for 11 yrs old+
*by M***7 on March 3, 2019*

I bought this book for my 11 year old twin daughters for their birthday. The projects were fun, cool, and useful. We have checked out children's sewing books from our local library, but this is the first book that inspired my girls to tackle their favorite projects. My girls have some experience with the sewing machine, however there was a great section in the book about learning how to use your sewing machine; including some great cleaning/maintenance tips that were new to us. Great pictures and instructions, however, an adult is advisable the first time through a project. My girls have already made 5 skirts, 3 headbands, and a zippered pouch. They are looking forward to making the drawstring bag, quilt throw blanket, embroidered pillowcase, and reversible messenger bag.
