I love that there is a super simple book for tweens to learn a little bit about sewing. This book includes lots of easy, hand-sewing projects for your girls to try, even if your family is not a sewing family. This book boasts that very little parent supervision is needed, which is great because most tweens are so independent. Sewing School: 21 Sewing Projects Kids Will Love to Make includes patterns and instructions for 21 projects such as a doll blanket, pillow, drawstring bag and more. Once hand-sewing is mastered, your girls can try Sewing School 2: Lessons in Machine Sewing; 20 Projects Kids Will Love to Make, which is a beginning machine sewing book. This highly-reviewed book includes 20 different machine sewing projects.
