Sewing Clothes Kids Love and even learn how to make a child’s dressform

Admittedly I’m not a mom, except of three canine fur children, but I love looking at children’s clothing and some of the whimsical touches it offers. Nancy Langdon and Sabine Pollehn’s Sewing Clothes Kids Love is a mecca of fun, colorful and innovative ideas–many of which can be incorporated into adult clothing as well. Both are designers and owners of two European pattern companies specializing in children’s clothing, so they have lots of experience. Ten full-size patterns are included with the book and actual kid’s artwork accents the brightly colored pages of super photos. Look for some serious information as well–on fabric, fitting, construction and embellishment details, and also something new to me–making a child’s dressform for easier fitting. It tends to stand still! The book offers styles and “cool clothes” for both boys and girls. It’s a great read and the inspiring photos are worth the price of the book.
