This full-colour book teaches kids how to develop their own fashion sense and ideas and contains patterns and instructions to make adorable (and hip!) clothes for any 11 -inch fashion doll (that includes Barbie!). Projects include the Draw-String Pouffy Skirt, Classic Wool Kilt, Slinky Slip Dress, Princess Party Dress, and a Little Red Cape-not to mention accessories like a backpack and cowboy hat. The clothes can be made with little or no help from adults and most come with a printed pattern. The book includes simple sewing instructions (from how to thread a needle to the basic stitches), a chapter of no-sew projects (No-Sew Sock Dress, Sarong Twist Dress, E-Z T-Shirt), for a total of 33 projects, most with variations and tips for embellishment. As an added bonus, the final chapter shows kids how to design and make a skirt, a dress and a tote bag for themselves. The see-through kit comes with a doll-sized version of a professional dress form, 27 patterns (patterns and base are contained in the box behind the book), ribbon, rick rack, and two quarter-yard swatches of fabric
