Capture children’s imaginations with this charming collection of costumes! Ranging from a sword-wielding pirate and a snow queen to a hip-hop Easter bunny and an “out of this world” astronaut, they’re perfect for afternoon dress-ups, playacting, and holiday fun. The projects range in difficulty from beginner to expert, are divided by theme (so it’s easy to find the perfect outfit for every child), and feature simple instructions and step-by-step photos of the key techniques. Best of all, an accompanying PatternMaker CD (which runs on Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP) combines easy-to-use pattern-drafting software with ready-made computerized pattern collections. Just tell the “pattern wizard” which costume you want and the computer draws it for you—in the perfect size and fit!
