In today's thriving maker culture, kids are hungry for hands-on guidance
in creating stylish wearables and practical objects, or hacking and
customizing existing ones. Authors Nicole Blum and Catherine Newman get
them started with complete instructions for mastering six favorite fiber
crafts. Step-by-step photos teach kids ages 9-14 the basics of how to
sew, knit, crochet, felt, embroider, and weave, plus how to make three
projects for each craft. From woven patches and a knitted backpack to
embroidered merit badges and a crocheted bracelet, the fresh,
kid-approved projects encourage creative variations and build confidence
along with valuable life skills.
