If you’re looking for a perfect baby gift for a friend (or even for yourself), Sew Magical for Baby, by Laura Lee Burch, has 30 fun and easy-to-sew toys and accessories. If you’re a new sewer, there’s a chapter on sewing basics to get you started, before you jump in the mix of stuffed toys, soft blocks, blankets, bibs, slippers, sun hats and other whimsical things. There’s also a couple of things for new moms as well. Patterns are included, but most need to be enlarged for use. Large color project photos and colored step-by-step illustrations make the instructions easy to follow.
