Oliver + S Little Things to Sew: 20 Classic Accessories and Toys for Children

Home sewers love to dress the children in their lives in garments they have hand-crafted. No one understands this better than Liesl Gibson, who is both a mom and the founder of Oliver + S, a sewing pattern company known for its contemporary yet classically sensible kids designs, its precise, easy-to-follow instructions, and its charming paper doll inspired packaging. In Oliver + S Little Things to Sew, you ll find 20 acessories for children, such as a hat with bear ears, scarf, vest, tutu, art smock, backpack, and quilt all 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 book s jacket a 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 isn t on anyone s 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.
