Chloe Taylor learned to sew when she was a little girl. She loved watching her Grandmother Louise turn a scrap of blue fabric into a simple-but-fabulous dress, nightgown, or even a bathing suit in an instant. It was magical! Now that she's grown up, she still loves fashion: It's like art that you can wear. Chloe has written more than thirty books for children and lives, writes, and window shops in New York City.

"An aspiring fashion designer is the affable heroine of this first
book in the Sew Zoey series. . . . In a smoothly written story of
overcoming challenges with ingenuity and style, Taylor shows a
knack for characterization and dialogue, and her detailed
descriptions of Zoey's designs will entice young fashionistas."--
"Publishers Weekly"
"Most novels about fashion end up being more about little divas
than about the clothing; this is an exception. This story
celebrates the rewards of personal creativity and risks of
self-expression. . . . This book will appeal to a middle-grade
crowd that isn't into vampires and dystopias, as well as to those
who create art with their hands."-- "Kirkus Reviews"
"The characters are enjoyable and well developed, and the plot is
humorous and entertaining. The black-and-white drawings that open
each chapter add a bit of fashion flair. With a touching ending
that will leave readers with a warm, fuzzy feeling, this novel will
appeal to young fashionistas."-- "School Library Journal"
"Zoey Webber is a funky fashionista stuck in a
gray-polyester-uniform world. The first book in a delightful new
series, this will appeal to any girl finding her own style. Zoey is
a bubbly and vivacious character who doesn't let insecurities take
command."-- "Booklist"
Zoey is back and still sewing and blogging in the second book in
this upbeat series . . . When she comes to the conclusion that she
has to patch her friendships in the same way she patches her torn
jeans, determined and creative Zoey reweaves both friendships and
makes them stronger.-- "Booklist"
