4.0 out of 5 stars Meg. Jan 14 2012
By Meg.
Format:Hardcover
Love the ideas in this book. I also love how it's ring bound for ease of use and how the sizes go up to 7 for older kids. Made the treasure pocket pants and had no problems - I love these pants on my son though the waiste is a little snug. The "brick bag" project was alot of fun to make as well - first time I was ever able to attempt such a project. I must say though that I found the instructions for this project a bit hard to understand at times and found it easier to think of the next logical step to take rather than to actually read the instructions. I hope this book inspires more boy-focussed sewing books of this type - us crafters know we need more of them!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but has some issues. Jan 11 2012
Format:Hardcover
I love that this book is dedicated to sewing for boys, a rare thing in the children's sewing world. With that said, I have come across some issues with the patterns. My 1st attempt was Pauley's Pullover ages 2/3 and the arms were an inch smaller (at the armpit...I did check to make sure I cut the correct size) on either side than the actual body of the pullover. It was an easy adjustment, but if I was a complete novice (this was a beginner pattern), I probably would have been dismayed. The pattern was also very short (and excessively wide) in the body, so be sure to measure your boy before making your cuts and add length as needed. I'm not sure how the rest of the sizes measure up, but it is now something I'd check before making a cut. Overall, cute book with cute clothes (just adjust as needed).

4.0 out of 5 stars Basic clothes but interesting Oct 4 2011
Format:Hardcover
I like this book. All the clothes are very basic - the kinds that will get lots of wear but most of them have at least something a little interesting about them that makes them different from stuff your kid already has and makes you want to sew them. I haven't made anything yet but instructions look good.
