Thanks to a couple of really great (and fun) books on the subject, Princess has been enjoying her sewing lessons (though she can’t wait to graduate from paper to fabric).

SalGal September 5, 2008 at 4:13 am: I totally have to get those books! I can’t sew a stitch! Ok, a sewing machine might help, too…. 😉

I had an adult student who has the same Hello Kitty machine, btw, and loved everything about it except the lack of a zipper foot. Super cute to look at, and sews great!

Are these still the best books you recommend for teaching kids to sew? I’m a very basic sewer, but my kids are itching to learn, too. Thanks, Carrie!
