I’m definitely happy with this purchase. My mother was a sewer, so I've been around it all my life, but I no longer have her and do not have half the skill she had.

But my daughter loves getting crafty and wanted to try it. Hours and hours of sewing fun! My kids LOVE sewing and this book has great visuals and enough written instruction that it’s clear what to do. ) and we have three items she can use and be proud of!

It has been a good purchase. The projects are simple enough that they are approachable for kids. I did most of the cutting and pinning, she did the bulk of the sewing. I should add the only direction I did not follow was to baste.

I haven't noticed basting helping. I'm sure we will make more projects out of this book, my daughter has her eye on the laptop case and the dolls. I got my 8 year old this book and a Janome sewing machine for Christmas - and have been very pleased with both.

Definitely recommend this book if you are not a master yourself but want to just sew something. We just finished making these three projects pictured for our county fair - the Fox bag with felt, a pencil case out of scrap fabric, and a laundry bag. We just pinned and sewed. They are not perfect.
