Sewing for Children with African Wax Print Fabric - Adaku Parker

From Cico Books, Sewing for Children with African Wax Print Fabric by Adaku Parker is a paperback guide to creating 25 vibrant sewing projects for children, from babies up to 5-year-olds. Centred on the bold colours and striking patterns of African wax print fabrics, it brings together garments, accessories and homewares designed to add personality to everyday dressing and children’s spaces.

Inside, you’ll find a mix of quick, simple makes and more detailed pieces, including a baby bib, romper suit, mini messenger bag, knot headband and drawstring bag, alongside homewares such as toy storage boxes, a peg-board organiser and an envelope cushion. The book also covers practical clothing projects, from elasticated shorts and a boy’s shirt to a girl’s circle skirt, a tiered dress and a three-tiered drawstring skirt. Easy-to-follow artworks and instructions guide key techniques including sewing pleats, topstitching, and adding pockets and zips, with pull-out pattern sheets providing full-size garment patterns in a range of sizes.
