The topic came up a day or so ago about teaching kids how to sew - specifically whether or not you'd let your (grand)child use a rotary cutter.

I went to Amazon.con and found the following books on teaching kids how to sew. You can always get these books through interlibrary loan ("always" at no cost) at your local branch of the library. I do this for quilting and embroidery books that interest me, and if after reading it I want it in my personal library, it goes on my Christmas & Birthday wish list.

Here's the list of five books on teaching kids how to sew, the reviews they received from readers/purchasers, and the price range offered on Amazon - they are in no particular order:
