Looking for a book for a teenager who's learning to sew.

I want to leave her a book of small projects so that she can carry on without me, that would be interesting to a teenager. I'm thinking small easy projects to build her confidence.

It covers a lot (in a good way - I don't mean "a lot" as in too much), but is fun and has lots of confidence building projects - ranging from a pin cushion (super easy) to a dress (still simple and easy). Here is the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Sew-Everything-Workshop-Step-Step/dp/0761139737 Have fun! ------ "Enthusiasm is more important to mastery than innate ability, it turns out, because the single most important element in developing an expertise is your willingness to practice."

Building confidence is a biggie, I want her to enjoy the experience, and not get too frustrated. Thanks for suggestion. ------ "A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” Coco Chanel Stash Sewn in 2011 148.5 Yds Stash Sewn in 2012.... counting... http://adonising.blogspot.com
