"Sew" Good This is a great example of a user-friendly book for girls in middle school and up, who would love to learn some sewing basics and be fashionably cool as well. The cost of the projects is minimal and the tools are standard household fare. The instructions are given in an upbeat, fun, narrative style with a helpful up-front glossary/vocabulary. A great book for your personal collection, for a gift or for a library collection which serves tween, teen and young-at-heart girls.
From old denim to funky crafts! So for those of you who are craftsers and would-be fashion designers looking for a new book to add to your collection, I have to say I'm really impressed with the book Jeaneology: Crafty Ways to Reinvent Your Old Blues by Nancy Flynn.

When I picked up her new book, I was happy to see that she has all kinds of sewing projects in the book and not just really advanced stuff. Especially since I don't sew that much.
Her book has 25 cool sewing projects that help you find uses for old jeans you'll never fit into again, or were ruined, or you bought and never wore. For the projects jeans are ripped, dyed, decorated, distressed, and otherwise dressed up or completely reinvented as other clothes, wallets, cell phone holders, jewelry, coasters and pillows. And there's some pretty cool projects that guys can do to -- which is nice to have a book that isn't just for the girls.
And the book is on Myspace with blog updates in case you want to see what Nancy is working on lately... Jeaneology book on Myspace -- [...]
