These bags were the perfect size to fit all their sewing goodies in. Including a big bag of stuffing to complete their projects with.
I made 7 different sewing projects for each kiddo using felt. Each project was put into a baggie along with any additional items like buttons. The projects included: bird, flower, circle, butterfly, star, heart and cupcake.
Sewing Kit
Supplies:
- 2 dull tip needles
- 2 spools of thread
- Various colors of needle point thread
- 7 projects
- Large bag of stuffing
- Measuring tape
- Scissors
Each project bag has a cut out felt item to make. Some
have buttons to sew on and some have additional felt pieces to attach.
Instructions:
- Use either a backstitch or a whipstitch to sew your items.
- Sew on buttons on additional felt pieces first.
- Then sew most of the felt piece together, leaving room to add the stuffing.
- Finally, sew up the last hole from where you put the stuffing in.
Yay!!!
You are learning how to sew!!!
I hope the girls have a blast with their very own sewing kits!!!

Thanks for sharing! My daughter is still tiny, but I look forward to doing things like this for her one day soon! Another sewing idea I saw somewhere is to include a piece of that rubbery shelf liner stuff along with yarn and yarn needles to practice some beginner cross-stitching. :o)
Very cute!! And I love the cupcake you showed =-) My daughter was watching me knit the other day & decided she wanted to as well - it was HILARIOUS!! Not ready for knitting... but maybe some beginning sewing with platic needles....Thanks for linking up to TGIF! Merry Christmas,
Beth =-)
