I got this book because I had heard it was especially meant to be a "maker" book for girls, so I was bummed when it was so much sewing. *sigh* the projects are progressively more complex versions of sewing LED bulbs into circuits with conducive thread. Then you get a teaser for a slightly cooler project on instructables. We are not even allowed an insultingly pink handled soldering iron. I might be able to use one or more of the ideas in this book for a one hour STEM project at work, but I wouldn't want most of these useless ugly light up fashion accessories cluttering up my family's lives. Please try again Make:, I think tween girls get enough craft ideas from Klutz. There must be cool electronic projects that girls would like that don't have to be so "softer side" and would let girls learn about real tools.
