Jan. 5, 2007 - First Sewing Project

For Christmas we bought SugarBean a Learn to Sew Beginners Sew a Door Hanger kit. We have worked on it this week and finished today. It was a lot of fun!

It is a great first sewing project. The package says it is for ages 5 and up, but I did need to help quite a bit (my daughter is 5).

I thought it was decently priced at $6.99. We bought ours at Walmart. It is also available on Amazon.com (click here). It comes with a large plastic needle, yarn, stuffing, and felt pieces. The felt pieces are pre -cut and have holes punched wherever sewing needs to happen.

Most 5 year olds will need help. I'm sure an 8 year old could handle it herself. It is so much fun to make something you can use. It turns out to be a door hanger with a pocket for a little note pad. Great for leaving messages on her bedroom door.

Here are a few pictures of ours:

WOW!! Good for your kids!!
I made myself a full size quilt last year!! It is so warm. Much better than those store bought blankets!! It was really the first thing I had ever sewn. It's not the best sewn thing in the world, but I made it and am happy with it.
Thanks for adding me to your friends. I hope to make it back soon.
God Bless and Keep You and Yours!!
Take Care!!
Love to all

What a great job! It's very cute. I imagine your daughter is quite pleased with how it turned out! I do a lot of sewing and it has influenced my boys. They have each made several projects.
many blessings
