“Filled with projects your kids will ACTUALLY want to slow down and make, Alexa's book is an approachable introduction to sewing either by hand or by machine for kids who love to be creative and build things themselves. As a sewing teacher myself, I know kids will be happy to practice so that they can make funky projects like the pizza pencil case. Come on, you can put pepperoni slices on it! How cute is that!? I look forward to using Alexa's book at my studio for project inspiration during my kids classes!”
