Happy Homemade: Sew Chic Kids: 20 Designs That are Fun and Unique-Just Like Your Kid!

Absolutely love this book. Great designs and brilliant pattern.

I was very pleased with this book, lovely timeless styles (without being twee!), good quality pattern pieces and easy to follow instructions. I know I will be using this for many years to come.

Amazing book with truly beautiful patterns for children. Think I will be buying a lot of fabric!

I purchased this book after ordering several other pwttern books for sewing children's clothing. I must say that I found it one of the easiest to use; perhaps because of some of the complicated patterns and instructions of previoys books. The clothes are quite simple in style and design. There is a good balance between styles for boys and girls. The pictures are lovely to look at and inspires you to attempt each item. There are a couple of drawbacks though. The first being that you are provided with two large pattern sheets in a very convenient envelop on the back inside cover of the book. However you need to search for pattern elements across both sheets, on either side of each sheet. The author does indicate that pattern components may be found on separate sheets but I spent quite a while searching for them. The second drawback is that the instructions, although accompanied by fairly clear illustrations, are not as explicit as one might expect them to be. Having made a number of items such as bags, totes and other items of children's clothing from other books, I felt the instructions could have been set out better. In some instances I was left to figure out how to do certain bits without any reference to the step within the instructions. All in all, I would rate this book as a quite good given those that I've come across. Its a good start for a beginner as the styles are so simple. The styles are quite good for jazzing up with appliques and other embellishments; or even by using brighter coloured fabrics. Having a lot of fun and gaining more experience with this book. Recommended!
