My First Sewing Machine: FASHION SCHOOL: Learn To Sew: Kids

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!

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.

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.

Cute book for kids to learn from

Me and my 9 year old daughter are completely new to sewing. This book makes sewing simple to understand and starts you off with the basics of practicing straight stitching, back stitching and pivoting. They even break down the parts of the sewing machine in simple terms so a child can understand what it's for. There are about 7 projects in the book for beginners ( We are anxious to start). Definitely a must have for adults and kids

We gave our granddaughters their own sewing machine for Christmas and we added this book to help them get acquainted with the machine. It was perfect! Not only is it instructional and informative it relates to young girls their ages, 9 & 10. I would recommend this book to anyone teaching a young person to use a sewing machine. It also has simple ideas and patterns for them to use.

My 13 year old is not known for following directions and usually quits anything she can't master in 5 minutes. I gave her this book and a sewing machine and told her to figure it out. And she did! I'd recommend this to ANYONE who is brand new at sewing. Simple, concise and easy enough to understand, you'll be stitching away in no time.

Even for a seasoned sewer this is a good book for details and refresh. It's a great guide for teaching young people as well.

This book is easy to read and also easy to follow as well.It is good for the kids and adult beginners.Highly recommended!

Great step by step first book to introduce a child into fashion. Simple and easy to follow.

Good basic introduction to sewing .

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!

Not very much information at all. The words "fashion school" should not be on the front cover. Very basic information. Save your money; I would not recommend this book.
