Perfect for Project Runway WannaBe's

I got this for my 11 year old daughter and she really likes it a lot. The dressmaker's form is sooo cute! It also comes with lots of other goodies. She has played with it for two solid days now and more important, is really interested in learning how to sew. I am not suprised that a nine year old struggled with it...however it is marked "10 and up." It is really not so much a toy as a mini design studio. I think the best thing is that the dress form can be used for draping fabrics which is an essential skill for young designers! My daugher has pinned two dresses together and they looked amazing. I bought this thinking it would be a fun and non threatening way to learn sewing, which I never really learned and always regretted. Plus it's just like Project Runway! I also recommend a few accessories which are available at Hearthsong, like a teeny sewing machine and a sewing kit. Overall, this is one of the nicest craft kits I've seen.

Perfect for Sewing, Designing, Barbie Play, Art, Homeschool

I was so pleased with this product! It's very hard to find quality educational and creative toys for children that aren't over priced - where you get a little quality for a lot of money. This kit is worth every penny. I shopped around and found the best price on Amazon. Got it for my 8 year old's birthday (just turned 8) and she loved it. This is perfect for any girl that is interested in learning fashion design or sewing or has an interest in making their own barbie clothes - or just likes to be creative and artsy. As an added plus I found it useful for homeschooling. (Measuring, art, careers, textures, etc.) The kit included fun fabrics for the kids to play with, a mannequin, a book to draw their designs in and very nice instructions I was pleased with. Needles, swatches, thread, swatches, fabric glue and pencil, and a very pretty pre-made dress that the little ones can just add fancy stuff too if they want (I think it ran big though). There was more but I bought it a while ago so I can't remember everything. Little hangers for clothes. (Having a case to keep everything in would have been nice - but probably would have made the product more expensive.) There was a lot to "explore" with the kit so it wasn't just ripping it open and throwing it aside. It's definitely something to sit down with. I also felt it was new and different than a lot of stuff out there. (She's my youngest of six..so I've got a grasp on what's out there...) The idea of saving money by making barbie clothes is a good idea too. I am so happy I found this and I highly recommend it. If I'm ever stuck to get another girl a birthday present and they like Barbies I'd definitely consider getting this for a gift. Highly recommended.

Beautiful, imaginative, creative, girlie-girl play!

This is one of the very best toys I've ever seen for exposing tweens and up to the wonders of fashion play. When kids are comfortable with learning very basic sewing skills (too young a child would only be frustrated) this Fashion Design Studio will open a new window to a magical world of fashion creativity.
You can design some really "fierce" fashions with a velvet manneqin, 4 mini "bolts" of faric totalling 6 yards, fun fur, sketch book, swatches, trims and more. This is just what I remember spending hours playing with as a kid -- I just about set up a factory in my room with every piece of leftover material and trim we had in the house! (My mother was always sewing!) I had the best-dressed Barbie on the face of the earth. If I had seen this Fashion Studio back then, I would have passed out from excitement!
As it says on the box, "Childhood creativity lasts a lifetime." I wish I could give this toy (and this company) ten stars.
