Stitch Camp: 18 Crafty Projects for Kids & Tweens - Learn 6 All-Time Favorite Skills: Sew, Knit, Crochet, Felt, Embroider & Weave by Catherine Newman, Nicole Blum
4.0
I recently received this book for review from the publisher.
Let me start off by saying I love books like this. Something that helps us to pass on the crafts and teach the next generation. I collected the Better Home and Garden Needle craft books for a while. The projects being so wonderfully outdated in the ones from the 70's.
Stitch Camp is a wonderfully updated version of these vintage books. The projects are simple, but teach the basics of six different needle arts. Sewing, Knitting, Crochet, Felt, Embroidery and Weaving.
I think I will actually have to adapt the little backpack for grown up use. It is too cute.
The instructions are clear and easy to understand and come with photos. All the samples for the book were done by children, which gives the book a very exuberant, happy and somehow a confident air. It certainly makes the projects suggested feel much more approachable.
I think if you are a Grown up with little ones to teach, but time, or distance won't let you, this book would be a great help. Even if you have the time, I think kids would appreciate having a book around to look up things on their own.
Thank you so much for putting an awesome, fun book like this together! Future generations of needle artists are guaranteed!
