Simple and Sweet

Pros: Great for kids, great for beginners, basic hand sewing techniques, easy projects, lots of photos
Cons: very basic
This book is a great introduction to working with felt and hand sewing. There are many sweet projects such as mug cozies, a little girl's purse and adorable finger puppets. My kids and I worked on projects together and the directions were clear and concise, leaving just enough room for some imagination. This book along with a few felt squares, embroidery thread and needle would make a perfect gift for beginners!
