Book Title:
 
Modern Style for Girls: Sew a Boutique Wardrobe - 12 Garments Sizes 7-12
 
Synopsis:

"Best-selling author Mary Abreu is back with a book that will shut down the dreaded words, “I have nothing to wear!” from young girls. Starting with three basic pieces - a top/dress, skirt, and pants - you’ll learn how to modify simple patterns and rectangles to make twelve classic garments: four tops/dresses, four shorts/pants, and four skirts.

Technique instructions teach you how to gather, create waistband casings, and insert zippers. Advice on choosing fabrics and adding embellishments is also included. With this handy guide, you can help your girls develop a style all their own.

- Add collars, change armholes, and add ruffles to basic garments to create updated takes on existing pieces
- Clear techniques will guide you on how to finish seam allowances, insert zippers, hem, and add unique embellishments
- Help your girls create an entirely new wardrobe of classic pieces to mix and match in any way they want."
