My Review:

I just bought myself a sewing machine so I have been looking for some fun things to make. I was so excited to get “Wild Things” out and take a look at all the different patterns. There are so many cute ideas to make. One of the things I really love about this book is that it gives you step-by-step instructions. I haven’t really done any sewing since I was in high school and that was many years ago. I am look through the book and getting some great tips on how to lay out the pattern, transfer marking and how to cut out the pattern is a great help to me.

What little girl would not love this Leopard Skirt? I think it is very cute and Wild Things has 15 animal-themed garments and accessories. I think anyone could find a pattern or two in this book. I love doing craft projects like this.
