My Review:
One of my best friends recommended this book to me, and I’m glad that she did! It is really cool. The directions are simple and easy to follow, and most of the clothes are modest (in one of the pictures, the girl is wearing a tight shirt with a jacket over it, and I don’t consider that very modest; other than that, it’s fine). 🙂 I’m currently making the Riverwalk Skirt:

ISN’T IT BEAUTIFUL?!? 😀 Hopefully mine will look that good. 😉
The pictures are simply gorgeous… ❤ ❤ ❤ which brings me to the one bad thing about this book- it is likely to make you jealous. Just sayin’. 😀
I would most certainly recommend this book, but I would also recommend having a person who knows how to sew help you; some of the projects are kinda tricky. If you don’t have someone helping you, I would recommend doing the pillowcase. It’s cute, and you don’t need a lot of skills to make it (I personally haven’t made it, but it looks super easy).
Great Books for God's Girls 
I just got this book from the library……and I love it! It’s so hard to find good sewing books!
That’s great!! I love it too! Do you have any other sewing books you like?
I like Ms. Figgy’s Garment School for Girls. There are a few things I don’t like about it, but the skirts are great! (review here: https://adaughterservingtheking.blogspot.com/2020/04/ms-figgys-garment-school-for-girls-by.html ) Sewing School’s Fashion Design is good too, though some of the skirts/dresses are too short (but you can always make them longer.) A Kid’s Guide to Sewing is also a favorite, but again, some of the clothes don’t meet my modesty standards. (The tiered skirt is so fun to make!) That’s the only ones I know of so far…. Do you have any more recommendations?
Thank you for the recommendations! I’ll have to look into some of those. 🙂
I actually haven’t read many sewing books! I believe my mom used this ebook when she first started sewing swim dresses: http://freshmodesty.com/shop/creating-custom-swimwear/ (We made them longer than in the picture.) Other than that… I can’t think of other sewing books I’ve read. Sorry! 🙂
I thought of another sewing book I like!! It’s “Sew Classic Clothes for Girls: 20 Girls’ Dresses, Outfits and Accessories from the Cottage Mama”, by Lindsay Wilkes. We borrowed it from the library, and it’s been a while, so I don’t remember if there was anything immodest in it (probably, since it’s not Christian). However, I love the coats that my mom made using that book, and if I remember right there were some really cute projects in it. 🙂
I’ve heard of Fresh Modesty’s books…..and I’ve wanted to get the swimwear book for a while now. The other book looks super interesting too!
I’ll have to do reviews on the other sewing books. (I’ve been wanting to for a while now, but now I have a reason. 🙂) Thanks for the recommendations!
The How To Sew Denim book does look interesting! Cute skirts! 🙂
I’d like to read your reviews! Thank you for commenting!
ooh looks fun! I’m looking forward to seeing your skirt! 😀
