A Child's Book of Sewing

This book is a faithful reproduction of a mid-century children's sewing guide by Jane Chapman. Both practical and charming, it teaches and inspires beginner sewers by focusing on hand sewing, helping to ease the intimidation often felt with sewing machines. Designed for children aged eight and up, the book offers a variety of simple projects like a bookmark, beanbag, and change purse, all of which can be completed with minimal adult supervision. A Child's First Sewing Book is beautifully illustrated with practical diagrams by Walter Chapman and Jeva Cralick, demonstrating basic hand stitches, the use of needles, scissors, thimbles, pins, and simple patterns.
