Sewing can be a practical and completely fun hobby for teenage girls and boys interested in fashion. However, even the “easy to sew” patterns can be frustratingly difficult for teens and usually the sewing  machine gets shoved back in the closet before the arms are sewn on a shirt. “Simply Sublime Bags 30 no-Sew, Low-Sew Projects” is a great book for teenage girls interested in sewing. The book is super easy to follow, has big pictures and perfectly simple to understand directions. It avoids using obscure sewing terms and is made for girls who are just starting out.

But teenage girls aren’t just looking for sewing patterns which are easy to make. They want a great result for their hard work as well. Fortunately this book delivers on that a cute product. The bags are fantastic and totally practical for taking to school and out with friends to show off. Sewing can be fun but most people stick to pajama pants for a reason – the uneven hems and noticeably skewed seams are a bit embarrassing anywhere but inside the privacy of your own home. The projects which results from “Simply Sublime Bags 30 no-Sew, Low-Sew Projects” will be something any teenage girl, or even adults, will be very proud of. The author, Jodi Kahn, also makes each project very unique and memorable. Some examples of bags to sew include “shower curtain tote”, “charmed” and more. There is something for everything looking to start sewing.
