The 15 projects range from decorative to practical, including an appliquéd family crest wall hanging, a patchwork pet bed, a crazy-quilt journal cover, and a quilt made from recycled T-shirts. Every project features encouraging suggestions for making truly one-of-a-kind items that express the creative spirit of each young maker. Also available in this series: Sewing School ®,Sewing School ® 2, Sewing School ® Fashion Design, and Sewing School ® Box Set.
