From School Library Journal

Grade 4-7–An attractive, how-to guide to the basics of knitting, crocheting, embroidery, quilting, and sewing. The introduction presents ideas on how needlework can be used to liven up clothing and create gifts and décor items. The volume begins with helpful suggestions on gathering supplies, measuring, selecting fabric, and stitching. The rest of the book presents detailed, step-by-step directions on basic techniques for projects that range from very simple to intricate. Patterns for decorations include permission for copying for personal or classroom use. Color drawings and photographs are appealing as well as instructive. This book is for an older audience than Ray Gibson's Starting Needlecraft (Usborne, 1994). An excellent addition to needlework collections.–Elizabeth Stumpf, Clearfield Middle School, PA

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for both children & adults!!, March 8, 2007

By	Louann Harbaugh (new jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have just started taking up crocheting/knitting again and it gave me great & easy projects to make! The sewing section was incredible!! All crafts are VERY simple to make and the materials are not expensive to obtain! I highly recommend this book for as young as 8 years old! As well as for all adults either just learning or catching up!!!
