You can make awesome things to use, wear, and give like pom-pom earrings, bags, t-shirts, softies, and much more.
I absolutely love "Basil and Midge" on page It's as if sewing skipped a generation or two, and is coming back into vogue. It's fun and creative, and sewists can save money by making clothes and gifts more cheaply and uniquely than they can be bought.

But how does a young girl get started sewing, particularly if her mom never picked it up? Annabel Wrigley has created We Love to Sew: Wrigley owns a studio in Virginia where she teaches girls to sew, and says that the book is a collection of the most loved projects they've made in class. The projects are appealing, and the book is executed in a cute, modern style. The photographs are gorgeous.

The book is intended for girls age 8 to 14, although the projects' tween appeal might make age 12 a more appropriate cut-off. The projects and instructions themselves are mostly hits. The little creatures, the pom-poms and the bags are fun and doable by small hands. The small quilt and mushroom house are perhaps overly ambitious so an experienced sewist would need to be lurking nearby to provide assistance for those.
The instruction photos and drawings are pretty clear and easy to follow, although there were a couple of places where the pages felt a bit cluttered. The writer does a lovely job of encouraging girls to make the projects their own, not to strive for perfect replicas of the photos.
A creative, self-starting girl can really go to town with this book, a few supplies and her own imagination. We Love to Sew, along with some fabric, needles and thread, would make a great holiday gift for a crafty girl. And they are all labeled according to the skills required: This book is a collection of 28 imaginative projects.
Aspiring sewists will quickly learn a variety of skills, terms and design ideas from simple rings and barrettes to more challenging bags and softies. It's perfect for ages 9 and up. Your daughter needs to have access to basic sewing supplies and know how to use a sewing machine in order to complete the projects in this book. There are a lot of simple projects in this book that will appeal to girls. Some of my favorites are the accessories like the t-shirt embellishments, the hand bag, and headbands.
I also like the jewelry and simple skirt tutorial. The book includes a section at the beginning about the basics of sewing and needed supplies. Each project is explained in simple terms and is illustrated with photographs. The projects themselves are fun and creative and are great for girls just learning to sew. Some of these projects would be a lot of fun to do with a small group of girls, like at a party. Spool jewels, doily tanks, felt barrettes, and pom pom earrings are just a few of the creative accessories you can make to spice up your wardrobe.
