Sewing Machine Basics for Children: A fun step-by-step guide to machine sewing

Description:

A complete course in machine-sewing for children aged 7+ years

Sewing is a skill that has so many benefits for children and can give them real pride in their achievements. Angela Pressley has been teaching children to sew for 15 years, and knows how to encourage and inspire them to learn, starting with the basics and building up a portfolio of skills. And to keep them interested, she has designed 30 makes that will help them cement the knowledge they've gained, from sewing simple seams to patchwork, curves and corners, hems, linings, and so much more. The book starts with an introduction to the sewing machine and some of the basic skills and equipment needed to sew. Then there are four chapters, each beginning with a techniques section, followed by projects that put into practice the skills just learned. Every project includes clear artworks plus a difficulty rating, from "easy peasy" to "you're on your way", "you've got this", and "you're a star". As children progress through the levels they will learn how to make their own toys, bags, accessories, and clothes, and will be encouraged to put their own creative ideas into their sewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kid-friendly sewing skills book with fun projects

P.D. · February 27, 2025

This is a great introduction to sewing skills book that I'm using with my 9 year old granddaughter. So far she's made the drawstring backpack, reversible skirt and knot bag and we have several other projects we're interested in trying. We're having a lot of fun planning for and completing the projects.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is a great book for children and adults

Cute, simple projects that use all the basics of sewing. Looking forward to gifting it to a young person that wants to know how to use their mom's sewing machine.

4.0 out of 5 stars For my granddaughter

I can’t wait to sit down with my granddaughter and try some of the little projects haven’t started anything in this book yet but I like what I see

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! Just what I was looking for!

I wanted a sewing book to use with my 12-year-old granddaughter. I couldn't be more pleased with this book! It has various sewing levels: easy peasy; you're on your way; you've got this; and you're a star. The projects are very creative; the instructions are clear; and the illustrations are colorful. There are some pattern templates that are full-size, and others that you would have to photocopy at 200%. But for most of the projects, patterns are not even needed. I'll admit that neither my granddaughter nor I have had the time to actually get together to sew, but I know she would like this book. I may just give it to my daughter and have her use it. The book is very well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Was What I hoped for AND MORE !!!!

This was the 2nd book that I had ordered for my 8 year old granddaughter. The first book was a very big disappointment. This book has a full chapter dedicated to the needed tools to get started with. It described various steps that you need to do before you even start to sew on a project. Well written, photos were colorful and there were excellent drawings and patterns for the subjects and the projects. Hope it will create a love of sewing and especially quilting in the granddaughter. If so, she will be the 5th generation of ladies in my family to embrace the love of the art. Thank you to Angela Pressley for writing just wonderful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book will last many years!

This book is well written with clear easy to follow instructions. It has projects from complete beginners to more advanced. I bought this for my 7 year old granddaughter as she is always asking what she can sew and all of the projects are likely to appeal to her. The book is also good for adults with some good easy to sew projects.

Starter sewing book.
