Description
When we first reviewed this product, Melissa & Stephanie (then age 10) had so much fun sewing the first project (ducks) that during the next three days they made Humphrey Whale, Squirrel Nutkin, Ali Alligator, and nine more stuffed animals. Only the need to use the kitchen table for something other than sewing kept them from completing the whole zoo. Patterns for these animals are placed over two pieces of felt, and the felt is cut. Children then make dots 1/8" apart and 1/8" along the edge of felt. Needle and thread are drawn through each hole until sewing is 90% complete. Add stuffing, finish sewing the remaining length, and they have a new stuffed animal. Instructions are simple enough for very young children to follow and in rhyme for easy memorization. Includes book, two precut felt shapes, 3 yards each of 4 colors of crochet thread, and 43 patterns for additional projects.
Publisher's Description of My First Sewing Book & Kit
This book provides a fun sewing experience for children as young as 5 years. Read the book aloud (it’s written in rhyme!), then help children follow directions as they sew and stuff one of many shapes from the book.
The book comes as part of a kit, which includes:
▪ Two sets of precut shapes from quality felt
▪ 3 yards each of four colors of crochet thread–enough to create two projects.
▪ 43 patterns for additional projects.
This book and kit is the first in the My First Sewing Book series.
Category Description for My First Sewing Books
Author Winky Cherry believes that children should learn to sew by hand before they learn to use a sewing machine. Hand sewing skills develop finger dexterity, and teach the value of patience and practice. This series gently leads children through their first sewing experiences.

Recommend for beginners!
I purchased this to use as a handcraft fro my 7 yr old daughter and 5 year old son. It is a great, simple way to teach hand sewing. The instructions are very simple and written out in rhyme. My 5 year old son is 1/2 way through his 1st project (bird) in just under 20 mins!

A gift for a 6-turning 7-year old girl.
Both my little girls have expressed interest in learning to sew. The younger one is only 4 1/2, the older is almost seven. I wanted something they could both do, and I didn't want them using the…
