Children's Sewing - Kid Craft

My children love to do anything that I'm also doing. Well, at least when it looks like fun that is. For quite a while, Hannah has been asking to sew. I'm not about to hand my rambunctious three year old a sharp little needle. I don't think that would turn out well for anyone. And so, this project was born. Oddly enough, my seven year old was way more enthusiastic about it, and insisted on showing his little sis exactly how it must be done.

What you need:
Embroidery Hoop
Burlap material (cut large enough to allow overhang when in the hoop)
Scrap yarn
Tapestry needle (the dullest you can find)
Scissors

1)Place the burlap in the hoop and tighten.



2)Thread the yarn in the tapestry needle and pull to the center.



3) Tie the two end pieces of the yarn together so it will prevent it from being pulled completely threw the burlap.


4) Depending on your child's age, you may need to start it for them.



5) Now your child is ready to start sewing!




Sorry for the blurry shot. There was some fast and furious sewing going on...

Have a great weekend!
