Media Reviews

The dresses are just lovely. Adorable! --Kate Moss
I love Their Nibs's clothes because they make little girls look like little girls. --Thandie Newton
Is there any new parent who has not looked for the clothing of yesteryear to dress their newborn or toddler? This book has all the basics to create those clothing that are so sought after. I can see the patterns filling many baby shower gift needs as well as enhancing wardrobes of the many young children in our families. - Debbie Colgrove, About.com Guide to Sewing
All patterns are charming and fashionably influenced by the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's. - Apron-icity
Patterns in a more classic mode that make children look like children instead of tiny adult women. A fine array of traditional looks for toddlers and young children. Bell selected fabrics with a vintage ambiance so the designs in the book have an ageless 'feel' that channels the 1940s and 1950s. - Bangor Daily News
A beautiful collection of classic children's clothes and accessories that anyone who loves to sew for little ones will adore. The styles are inspired by the classic designs of the 50s and 60s, and really are timeless. - FabTalk
With a special little person in your life, whether your own or a grandchild, niece or nephew, this book is sure to entice you to make something mini. The styles and patterns address the idea of children dressing age appropriately, perhaps with a bit of nostalgia found with the full skirts, smocking, rickrack and other retro details. - Sewing.org
I have to say, I love it. Not only are there beautiful dresses for little and big girls alike, there are practical and cute items for boys as well (and by that I mean, clothing that you can put on your little boy that they won't argue about wearing). To top it off, there are a number of unisex items included... a little something for everyone! - Stacy Schlyer, StacySews.com

My mother and I flipped through the book together, oohing and ahhing and sighing at each beautiful design. The proprotions, the details, the styling, even the fabric choices in her examples, are all spot on. These are the clothes that will never go out of style. - CraftGossip.com Sewing Guide
