My Recommendation

I was pleasantly surprised by this book, it was quite comprehensive and will give children the confidence to have a go for themselves.  The most outstanding component of this book is that the reader can see that the children and teens are actively engaging in these projects themselves and each finished product is celebrated no matter how it turns out.  A big thumbs up from me.

Each lesson is thorough and goes through the steps thoroughly.  I appreciate that words like block, binding and batting are used so that the makers get a true understanding of quilting and sewing. The kit explanation was a fantastic visual guide and  leaves no room for error when gathering supply. 

If you have a children that really wants to sew, this book is the perfect teaching guide, particularly due to the step by step pictures of the projects.  This book would also be perfect for a super beginner adult as well, especially if you find it hard to follow instructions.
