Focusing primarily on basic sewing skills and design principals, Black Girls Sew helps readers learn to create one-of-a-kind looks and in the process grow more confident in expressing their own style. By encouraging them to follow their curiosity rather than telling them what to create, the book helps young fashionistas learn to take risks and explore creative play in their clothing design."--back cover.
