Best Ever Kids Costumes - C&B Crafts

Synopsis

Children require unstructured play for developing one of the most amazing gifts of childhood: imagination. "20 Costumes to Make" is a charming collection of costumes to capture this imagination. From a sword-wielding pirate and pretty-in-pink fairy to a hip-hop Easter bunny and an out of this world astronaut, the projects are perfect for afternoon dress-ups with friends. Projects range from beginner to expert. Each project is accompanied by colour photography, easy-to-follow instructions and illustrations of the key techniques. The accompanying PatternMaker CD (which runs on Windows 98/NT/2000/ME/XP/Vista/Win7 and is CrossOver Silver Certified for Intel-based Macs. A free demo of CrossOver is included!) combines easy-to-use pattern drafting software with ready-made computerised pattern collections. A simple step-by-step pattern wizard asks you to select the costume you want, and the computer draws the pattern for you in the perfect size and fit! Basic skills are all that s required to create these wonderful designs. All the techniques you'll need are clearly explained and an in-depth skills section can be found at the front of the book. Whether it's Halloween, a fancy dress party or dressing up at home, get stitching and create the best costume in the room.
