My first sewing machine book: 35 easy and fun projects for children aged 7 years +, paperback/emma hardy

With 35 projects that youll love to make and a helpful techniques section, this book will teach you all about sewing machines.

Start out with Clothes and Accessories, where you can make a felt collar and cozy scarf, as well as a pretty skirt.

Then try one of the Bags and Cases, such as a cute bobble-trim coin purse, an MP3 player case, and even a sleepover bag.

Transform your room with Things for Your Room--the wall tidy looks great and gives you somewhere to store all your bits and pieces, and you can brighten up your bedding with a patchwork quilt.

Finally, why not have a go at the Toys and Games? Make a rag doll, and then clothes for it, too, to get a feel for dressmaking, or create a fabric games board for playing checkers and chess.

Every project has step-by-step artworks to guide you, plus a skill level so you can start with easy items and move on to more challenging things as you get better at using your machine.
