Sewing for Children
Ages 5 and upCico Books, $20
The 35 colorful projects in Emma Hardy's craft book inspired our newbie seamstress tester and her 7-year-old daughter to pick up a needle and thread. Some crafts are easy (flower hair-ties, a wise owl), others more advanced (doll bedding, tote bag appliqués). All have clear step-by-step instructions, helpful photos, and simple materials lists. After completing her first creation, our young tester asked, "Why don't we sew all our clothes?"
