Buying clothing for growing children can be a fun but expensive experience. If you know how to sew, why not sew some clothes for your growing little ones? Inside Sewing for Your Girls by Yoshiko Tsukiori, you will learn how surprisingly simple it is to make your own clothes for your kids.
The best thing about the sewing patterns inside this book is that they are actually super cute clothes that your girls will love to wear! Plus, one of the benefits of making your own clothes is that you get to completely customize them so they not only will fit your kids perfectly, but you can also select a comfortable fabric, and add little details whenever and wherever you want to make the piece just right.
Inside this 96-page book, you will find eight basic sewing patterns for girls. That may not sound like very many patterns, but once you learn about all the different ways you can customize each pattern, you'll be amazed at how many different outfits you can create using the same basic sewing pattern. These eight patterns can be used in endless variations, all you need is a bit of creativity and imagination to customize each piece and make it your own.
Choose shirts, dresses, smocks, shorts, and more. Some options to personalize these items include (but are not limited to) adding ruffles or bows, tiers, pockets, sleeves, etc. It's super easy to make each and every piece unique and fun for your little girl to wear. Sewing for Your Girls also includes full size pattern pieces at the back of the book.
The sewing patterns included in this book really will fit anyone's lifestyle, regardless of personal style, sewing skill level, and budget. The pattern instructions are easy enough for beginners to follow and the book will teach you how to select pretty and inexpensive fabric that even your little girls won't object to wearing.
