A Child’s Book Of Sewing - Jane Chapman

A child's book of sewing: mid-century hand-sewing inspiration and projects for children A child's first sewing book introduces children to a time-honored tradition with clarity and inspiration. This book is a reproduction of a mid-century children's sewing book by Jane Chapman. Useful and charming, it instructs and educates beginning sewers. Sewing machines can easily intimidate beginner sewers, so this book focuses on hand sewing to motivate young creators. It includes a handful of simple projects that children eight and up can accomplish with minimal adult supervision. These projects include a bookmark, a beanbag, and a change purse. A child's first sewing book is filled with delightful and practical illustrations and diagrams by Walter Chapman and java cralick. These illustrate basic hand stitches, the use of needles, scissors, thimbles and pins, basic patterns, and more.
