Mini Makes is packed full of 24 (mostly unisex) projects to sew for children aged 0-12 years.
The garments are all cute, comfortable and practical – the kinds of clothes kids will want to wear every day. The main version of each pattern is a classic wardrobe staple - mostly mini versions of popular Tilly and the Buttons womenswear designs - while the variations include the most adorable embellishments and twists. I can’t wait for you to see them!
Each chapter takes you step-by-step through making the projects in our signature user-friendly style. The book also features practical tips and inspiration on topics such as choosing fabrics for childrenswear, embellishment ideas, involving kids in sewing, and more, to give you a rounded knowledge of sewing for little ones.
The patterns are printed double-sided in the back of the book ready to trace off, or you will be able to download layered PDF patterns to print on A4/Letter or A0 paper if you prefer.
We are so proud of this book and cannot WAIT for you to see it and start sewing with it, whether you’re sewing for friends’ kids, your own kids, grandkids, a bump…
