I am giving this book to my ten year old

son for Christmas.

It's ideal for both girls and boys

and that's what I love the most about it.

So many craft books are designed towards girls

and isolate boys away from them

but this book is so inclusive for both boys

and girls.

The book is packed full of fun pictures

and I think everything can be done visually

without even having to read a word.

There are full and easy to follow instructions

as well but if like me you have a son who

is dyslexic they are still going to be able

to achieve everything in the book.

I love the two funny mice who make the

instructions fun and interesting.

This book is really designed to keep

children interested.

I love the fact that there is a project

for each stitch and it starts off

super easy and then adds a little bit

at each stage till you can complete

the fantastic Hothead Helga Dragon.

The projects are:

Big Bad Bug

Needle Holder Nell

Pin Cushion Percy

Did the Dog

Bill the Bird

Hothead Helga

They learn:

Why Stitch?

What do we stitch with?

What do we stitch on?

Cutting out felt shapes

Threading a needle

Straight Stitches

Seed Stitch

Running Stitch

How to stop stitching

Cross stitch

Let's do some applique

Star Stitch

Simple Loop stitch

Fly stitch

Chain stitch

Special loop stitch

Feather stitch 

Blanket stitch

Buttons, beads & things

Wow sooo much packed into a book.

To be honest I've been using this book.

The diagrams and pictures are so

easy to follow I have been using

them when I have been stitching

stitches that I am not sure of.

It really is a fantastic book.

If you have a child that you think

might like to learn to stitch then

it would make a brilliant present.

Why not buy them some felt, needles & thread.

They could have hours of fun!

In no time they will be making themselves,

friends and family gifts.
