Lesley Ware’s guide connects fashion ideas with practical making: children can draw and color designs, explore fabrics and materials, reshape wardrobe staples, customize T-shirts, and add details to accessories. Activities also introduce creating a personal look book, dressing to influence mood, and sustainable design techniques. Inspiration comes from the natural world, everyday surroundings, and imagination, with projects spanning both original outfits and new ways to combine clothes already owned. The mix of drawing, styling, and making gives the book a clear focus on trying out design choices through activity.
