This is very good for the young seamstress. I purchased this for my granddaughter and we are going to work from the front to the back.

This is a great little book with big ideas! I teach sewing to kids and have used some of the projects in our classes. I think a good sewer ages 12 and up could independently make some of these on their own!

Judy Sadler is great-- I also love her knitting books. I've looked through stacks of library books about sewing and knitting as a novice adult learner, and find that her books contain the clearest instructions, avoid a lot of confusing technical chatter, and jump-start you on sewing or knitting right away without assuming you know terminology and abbreviations. From this book specifically, I have made the pin cushion and the makeup bag (both turned out really cute and looked just like the illustration), and plan to make a few more items. These were my first-ever attempts at using a sewing machine, so I was impressed. Hope she writes a longer book full of more sewing projects.
