I have a treat for you today, a sneek peak at Meg McElwee's newest book-
Growing Up Sew Liberated: Making Handmade Clothes and Projects for Your Creative Child is the perfect inspiration for summer sewing. The chapters are divided into areas that cover each part of a child's day, "Greating the Morning", "Breadsharing and Homemaking", "Inside Play", "Outside Play", and "Goodnight, Sleep Tight". I think we've all fallen in love with the teepee on the cover, but in addition, here's some other ones I love-
"Crossover Tees" (there's also an Envelope Neck Tee)-
"Dress Up Bucket"-
"Art Satchel" (I'm going to make these for the kids)-
Naturalist scavenger hunt bag (Meg also shows you how to make Scavenger Hunt Cards)-
There's tons of fun project, with excellent instructions and Meg's gentle perspective on parenting sprinkled throughout.
*I have 1 copy to give away today, just leave a comment on this post, and I will draw a winner next Wednesday (US only this time please).
