Grade 4-8–With an attractively designed cover featuring photos of sample projects, this book is sure to encourage interest in needlework. An introduction explains the basics of this craft, describing fabric, thread, needles, embroidery hoops, and more. Readers will learn about the intricacies of embroidery floss, transferring patterns, and dressmaker's tracing paper. A wide variety of ornamental stitches is explained and illustrated. The nine activities begin with materials lists and have easy-to-follow step-by-step directions and clear illustrations. Youngsters will have fun crafting the simple to advanced projects, including a flower pincushion, a CD pouch, a drawstring bag, embroidered clothing, and a bracelet. A full-color photo of each finished product is also included.–Augusta R. Malvagno, Queens Borough Public Library, NY
