After learning just a few simple crafting and sewing techniques, kids can make 26 modern projects to use, wear, give, and brighten their spaces. Kristen Sutcliffe’s Fabric • Paper • Thread shows how to transform tee shirts, tote bags, and more into unique pieces using embroidery stitches, super simple appliqué, and basic machine sewing. No matter whether kids are super crafty or have never even picked up a needle and thread, they’ll find something they just have to make. They can craft a fabulous necklace, a cute cover for a boring notepad, or a chic bracelet in no time!
Kristen Sutcliffe’s grandmother taught her how to cross-stitch when she was very young, preparing her for a college career spent studying ceramics. During a three-year stint in Japan, she fell in love with fabric and craft books. She lives in Oberlin, Ohio with her family.
