Kids Can Sew Sewing has never been so hip. Making and customizing your own garments and accessories is easy, fun, and a great way of creating your own individual style. Make personalized gifts for friends and family, revamp your wardrobe, or whip up jazzy cushions and covers to decorate your room for next to nothing!
Step-by-step instructions guide you through basic stitching techniques, and easy-to-follow diagrams put the more complicated embroidery and appliqu© skills at your fingertips. You’ll also find lots of tips on using a sewing machine, hemming, and putting in buttonholes and zippers.
Transform a plain old T-shirt with beads and bright appliqu©, or make a funky two-in-one reversible skirt. Experiment with fun fabrics such as fake fur, ribbon, and felt and create your own snazzy belts, tote bags, and slippers.
Get stitching savvy and you’ll never be stuck for something to do or wear again!
