It's all about fun, fashion, and color! Fifteen fast projects to sew by machine

Pattern-Free Fashions & Accessories encourages young machine-sewers to express their creativity by making simple clothes, accessories, and room accents. The early chapters teach just the basics they need, and the instructions for each project helps readers apply and master each skill, so new sewers build confidence as they go. The 15 projects range from cosmetic bags and throw pillows to belts, embroidered jeans, and a sassy, two-tiered skirt. There's even a chapter on "changing" your old clothes into a spectacular something new!
