Sewing Workshop for Young Makers : 26 Projects for Young Makers. This is a great ideas book, full of pictures, projects and inspiration. However due to the lack of detailed instructions for each project, an experienced adult would be required for most children to complete them. Still an excellent book, and one that many crafty children would love to receive as a gift.

The projects in this book seem so easy, the clothes, the accessories, the stuffed toys. Totally beginner-friendly ! I love that we don't need to print the patterns and they're easily traceable/ drawn by following the dimensions. However, for the clothes, the pattern of only one size is given and it's not indicated what size/age the cloth is for.

Thanks to Netgalley and Fox Chapel Publishing for access to this arc in exchange for my honest review.

This book has beautiful pictures and interesting projects. The patterns are sized for the 10-12 age group. My problem with the book is that there are nowhere near enough diagrams included in how to make the projects. I feel that with more diagrams, the book would achieve its aims of helping children learn to sew. I feel that an adult would be needed to give a hand and explain the instructions.

Sewing Workshop for Young Makers is exactly as it says. Full of a variety of fun and useful projects that practice all the basics of sewing, this book would make a wonderful course for a middle school girl. I was impressed with the simplicity of the projects and variety of ideas. As a seamstress, I was impressed with the simple, but clear directions and illustrative simple sketches, though I think most girls will need the benefit of mentor as they learn still.
I wish it had a few masculine or unisex clothing projects to introduce boys to this useful skill as well as providing girls with projects that open their eyes to sewing for someone else.

This book was so adorable, I loved everything about it, the illustrations were so well done, they suited the book perfectly, the story was amazing as well. I’m sure the kids are going to be just as enthralled with this amazing book as I was. I will definitely recommend! Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this early copy
