Crafty kids love to blow their own horns what they make, and what better way to do this than to wear their own one-of-a-kind handmade clothes! The authors of the most efficient-selling and much-acclaimed Sewing School® series are back with a complete course in sewing clothes, specially designed for kids aged 8 to 12.

Starting with the basics, Sewing School® Fashion Design teaches kids easy methods to make three essential garments: a top, a pair of shorts, and a skirt, and then encourages them to build their skills and customize every piece with options for changing the neckline or sleeve length and adding their own decorative touches. With step by step photos and actual kid-created examples, the approach is friendly and forgiving — no fussy fitting or difficult techniques. All of the necessary pattern pieces are included for quite a lot of sizes and body types, in conjunction with guidance on selecting fabric, cutting correctly, and adjusting the fit. With a wardrobe of their own making, kids will feel great about what they wear!
