"Rarely, though, does a book make my heart race in the same way that it does every time I open my copy of "Growing up Sew Liberated." The photos are dreamy and gorgeous, but it's the projects that really speak to my racing heart. This book is full of patterns and instructions to make all of the things that my daughters want." - "Stefanie Japel, Craftsy.com" "The clothes are cute but not cutesy, and they look super comfortable, too. The playthings are made with learning in mind - the author is a former Montessori teacher - but they aren't earnest. The dolls and capes and play tent would doubtless provide all sorts of room for imaginative play." - "CanadianLiving.com" "I loved her first book, so I knew this one, which is devoted to the littles, would be fantastic too. And it is!...full of beautiful things to sew. Many of the projects are just right for gifts as well. I would enjoy making all of them and I know they would all be well received and loved." - "Meg Spaeth, Elsie

A beautiful book with beautiful things to make. It makes for a great coffee table book too, everyone is drawn to look inside and discover the whimsical and practical things that can be made for kids.
What a great book , I was really looking forward to this arriving in the mail and it has exceeded my expectations its beautiful photos and the range of projects is fantastic for either a new or old hat sewer.
I love it! The mixture of practical Montessori style parenting tips along with sewing projects works beautifully. The projects all look very achievable and lovely too. I love my kids to be hands on and independent and this book offers so many ways on creating opportunities for that. Can't wait to get sewing!!
