Most folks who sew end up with a wealth of scraps left over and are often looking for small projects so those scraps don’t go to waste. Most of the projects in this book use the ubiquitous 100-percent-cotton fabric preferred by quilters, but a few use wool felt. The techniques are for the most part standard and not overly complicated, but there are brief instructions for a handful of the most common. The projects range from practical and useful to purely fun. Unlike some books of projects for children, these are not too heavily stylized and leave plenty of room for interpretation and embellishment to suit any individual child’s taste. Included are a craft easel, drawing folder, Halloween bunting, hot-water bottle, ball, witch’s hat, kite wall hanging, coin purse, a few creatures, two games, several bags, and more. Each set of instructions is illustrated with crisp photographs, though the instructions themselves are brief. Those with some sewing experience will find them sufficient, but a beginner may wish for more detail.
