If you like sewing your own children’s clothes or if you like giving presents with meaning, you must get to know “Making Children’s Clothes” by Emma Hardy, ed. Cico. I have the book myself and, although I’m no sewing expert, the outfits are quite easy to make. My favourite one: pyjamas!!!
“Using just a few simple sewing techniques, discover the easy way to create fun and stylish outfits for young children (0 to 5 years). By combining a few easy-to-learn stitches with great fabrics and trims, expert seamstress Emma Hardy explains how to make beautiful yet practical clothes for your children.
