GREAT WAY FOR KIDS TO LEARN TO SEW

Patience is not one of my virtues, so this was the perfect way to "teach" my child to sew. After I showed her the basics of my machine, my daughter was able to teach herself the basics of sewing. We both loved the book.

Excellent workbook and game formate to teach sewing to kids.

This book is wonderful to teach kids how to sew with a machine in a simple step by step format. Using the sewing machine kids complete mazes, dot to dots and other games to learn how to stitch, thread a machine, care of a sewing machine and more. After learning basic stitches the kids complete projects that can even be used as gifts. After completion of the activities there is a sewing club that can be joined. There are several more books in the series that continue teaching sewing machine skills as well as moving on to machine quilting and giving ideas for more gifts to make and give. I am using this series as part of my home schooling curriculum. Even boys are excited about sewing because the projects included are appropriate for both boys and girls of various ages. I would highly recommend this book and others in the series.
