In Oliver + S Little Things to Sew, youll find 20 acessories for children, such as a hat with bear ears, scarf, vest, tutu, art smock, backpack, and quiltall impeccably photographed by Laurie Frankel. The book includes two full-size pattern sheets and, as an added bonus, two cardstock paper dolls that can be dressed with clothing cut from the books jacketa little something extra to keep young ones occupied while grownups stitch new items for their wardrobes!
Praise for Oliver + S Little Thigns to Sew:
Making a bucket hat probably isnt on anyones bucket list, but maybe it should be. The reversible bucket hat in the book Oliver + S Little Things to Sew (STC Craft, 2011) is classic, cute and comfortable. And author Liesl Gibson maintains that making it is a treat for grown-ups as well as the young recipients.
