5.0 out of 5 stars My First Sewing Machine -A Pleasant Surprise!, January 31, 2001
By Lois Vara (New Port Richey, FL) - See all my reviews
This book was purchased for my 9 year old granddaughter. She was totally involved as we browsed the pages. The colorful layout and simple explanations encouraged her to continue reading and learning. The practice patterns for "steering" the sewing machine are an excellent idea. The games maintained her interest and encouraged skill-building. The easy-to-make crafts will keep her busy and make wonderful presents for her friends. As a long time sewer and grandmother of eleven I highly recommend My First Sewing Machine Book!

5.0 out of 5 stars My First Machine Sewing Book, March 30, 2002
Very Good Book. Purchased for my 9 year old niece. The step by step guide and checklist covered the basics she needed to learn in terms she understood. We completed the kit in one afternoon.

4.0 out of 5 stars My First Machine Sewing Book, January 28, 2001
By A Customer
I bought this book awhile ago and my daughter just used it. She is 11 yrs old and I think that it had a lot of practical excercises. The star she made was very good for her first sewing experience and I did not have to explain every step.
