SEW! IT! TWEEN!
D.I.Y. FASHION FOR THE ‘ME’ MADE LIFE
By Ellen Lumpkin Brown
Retail: $19.95
Based on her years of experience teaching tween-age girls to sew and conversations with retailers, designer Ellen Lumpkin Brown aimed to put together a book of “stylish patterns” that would appeal to young teenagers. The resulting Sew! It! Tween! Includes over a dozen “tween-tested” projects—garments, accessories, home dec, zakka, and more. And each of the fashion patterns are made using a simple, draft-it-yourself technique based on a few easy body measurements. Available through distributors and online.
