It's all about fun, fashion, and color! Fifteen fast projects to sew by machine

Altho this book is geared for beginning sewers, as an experienced sewer I still found some great ideas and little tips worth knowing. The directions are clear and concise and easy to follow. I think the projects will interest teens - and other new sewers - and start them sewing early! Nice assortment of wearables and craft projects.

The author is obviously extremely creative and knows how to teach. The projects are perfect for learning how to sew like a professional, but simple enough for a young person to complete and have real pride in... let's hear more from this author...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Idea for fun gifts, November 14, 2007

This review is from: Easy Singer Style Pattern-Free Fashions & Accessories: 15 Easy-Sew Projects that Build Skills, Too (Spiral-bound)

This was a great gift for my 20 year old daughter and 16 year old niece - snappy easy projects that really teach sewing skills. They made the Jean's skirt from their favorite jeans that were headed for the trash bin. My daughter said that it is a book that teaches you how to "EDIT YOUR CLOTHES". Fun to do and not a great cost for the projects. I had Singer Sewing books when I began to sew and I like the new, fresh, updated look. I hope there will be more in the series.
