Description
A baby or toddler is the perfect excuse to get creative and make unique and charming clothes instead of buying poorly made, mass-produced items covered in logos. In this comprehensive guide, children's wear designer Vanessa Mooncie shows you how to sew beautiful yet practical clothes that children will love to wear and you'll love to make.
Choose from this delightful collection of 25 projects, including clothes for everyday wear, fun clothes for dressing up, and accessories to complete the outfits. There are clothes for boys and girls, plus paper patterns that can easily be adapted to suit different ages. Don't worry if you are new to sewing, as all the basic know-how is presented in a clearly explained step-by-step format.
Sew Adorable is authored by Vanessa Mooncie, who spent many happy hours as a child sitting with her mother and grandmother learning how to sew. She went on to study fashion and textile design and became a self-employed children's wear designer, illustrator, and commercial interior designer. She now specialises in silkscreen work and designing crochet jewellery through her company Kissy Suzuki (www.kissysuzuki.com). She lives with her family in a rural village in the south of England.
Vanessa has written several books for GMC Publications, including Animal Hats, And Sew to Bed, Crocheted Wild Animals, and The Print Making Book. She is a regular contributor to other craft books and magazines.
