Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Fashion-minded readers who aren't afraid of picking up a needle and thread will learn some useful techniques as the authors outline ways to make eight accessories, including a wool brooch shaped like a pair of lips, a cat-ear headband, a belt made from braided nylon stockings, and an adorable "kawaii bear bag" felt tote. Closing sections detail the techniques involved and suggest improvisations for each project. Stylishly designed, the book incorporates digitally rendered illustrations of the steps for each accessory and the materials needed, while fashion-mag-worthy photographs show off the completed products. It's a hip little guide to handmade fashion. Ages 7-up. (Sept.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
