Angela PressleySewing Machine Basics for Children: A fun step-by-step guide to machine sewing

I bought this book for my granddaughter’s 10th birthday. It has great projects that help with learning how to use a sewing machine. We made one together and she has made another with her mum. She’s already chosen others that she wants to make. I would recommend.

Well explained Lots of ideas

Excellent to teach beginners. Great ideas to gain experience.

Great product and service

We bought this book for our granddaughter’s 7th birthday. We also bought her a ‘real’ sewing machine. This book will take her through firstly simple tasks, through to making small toys and simple clothes. As the sewing machine was her idea, with the help of this book she should get many years enjoyable use from her new machine.

This book is well written with clear easy to follow instructions. It has projects from complete beginners to more advanced. I bought this for my 7 year old granddaughter as she is always asking what she can sew and all of the projects are likely to appeal to her. The book is also good for adults with some good easy to sew projects.

I bought this for granddaughter who is keen to get sewing. She has picked two projects that we can do together. The first one (water bottle holder) said you could skip step 6 and go to step 10. There is no step 10.The next one is the bed tidy. Managed up to step 4. Now we are both baffled. We shall persevere but I feel like I have to do these myself before we do them together.

Brought for my grand daughter who is 6, she loves it and has done some of the projects with good results
