Review
“Mortenson has a good eye for what teenagers actually need and want…. Something here will appeal to that trickiest of demographics, making the book a worthwhile buy.” – Publisher’s Weekly
“Mortenson should be proud that most of her designs could be tailored to either gender with careful fabric choices.” – Publisher’s Weekly
“Project Teen is a fresh, mod, fun way to sew for the tweens/teens in our life – kids, grands, nieces & nephews. The projects meet the ever changing needs of kids, from travel blankets and tablet covers to simple bags to store everything in. Nuthin’ better, Q-bies, than wrapping them all up in stitched love and doin’ it well.”

Project Teen: Handmade Gifts Your Teen Will Actually Love definitely appeal to me, someone who hasn’t been a teen since The Cranberries were popular. Melissa is the genius behind The Polka Dot Chair, one of my favorite DIY blogs. Even if her book is checked out you can always hit up her blog for an amazingly creative selection of projects that range in both difficulty and time required. And, much like her book, there’s truly something for everyone. In particular, who wouldn’t want one of her Swim Bags? -Everett Public LibraryAbout the Author
