Information about My First Sewing Kit Posted 6/6/2011 by melissa hauck
My 9 year old daughter wanted to learn to sew. I can only sew buttons on shirts so she wasn't going to get anywhere with me. Her Grandma on the other hand can sew all kinds of things. When I saw this product I thought it would be a great way for my mom to show her how sew. They've had a great time working on the projects and my daughter loves it. She really liked the pretty box that holds everything!
Only Okay Posted 7/27/2009 by Alexa Ferguson
I bought this kit to introduce my 8 year old daughter to sewing. I thought that the projects were too similar (three or four animals). There were no included instructions, which meant that my daughter couldn't just pull this kit out on her own and work on something. All in all, it was worth the price that I paid, but I don't think I would buy it again.
Review of My First Sewing Kit Posted 12/26/2010 by Julie Willardson
This is my daughter's very favorite Christmas gift! She has been begging for it since she saw it in the catalog. I love that the patterns are already cut out, all the supplies are included, and are made small for a child's hand. Since I sew quite a lot, she will be able to sit down with me and work on her own project. We are both delighted with the small details of the kit including the pincushion and thimble. We can't wait to use it!

Have looked a long time in order to find a sewing kit for my 6 year old, she has been wanting to learn how to sew for a long time. Look high quality.
She loved it Posted 1/1/2012 by Linda Anderson - GRANDPARENT
My granddaughter loved this kit. It was a great complement to her favorite toy this year, her doll. She quickly started making assessories for her doll. She is a very creative 7 year old, so it was a great gift for her. It was the second kit of this kind that she has received in the last 6 months and she was thrilled to see it.

This was a repeat purchase. I'd given one to the older granddaughter a year ago when she was about 8, and both she and the younger granddaughter (now 5) often requested that I help them sew when I visited. It's not something they can do alone yet. We branched out from what was in the kit to make toy pillows, clothes for stuffed animals, etc. The younger girl borrowed items from her mom's sewing kit and scraps of worn-out clothes we could cut up. We mended several things, too. But it was clear she wanted a kit of her own, so this year I got her one and got both girls some extra spools of thread. We'll need to replenish the stuffing, too. The kits definitely have lasting play value and it's easy to buy or borrow a few extra supplies to keep them going and add options. It would be nice if they had more regular thread instead of just floss, and slightly sharper scissors, but they're a really open-ended play experience that teach skills useful later in life. Also a great grandma-grandchild bonding experience.
Product review of My First Sewing Kit Posted 11/6/2009 - RELATIVE
My daughter loves this! She has always enjoyed watching me mend clothing, so to have her own sewing things was a thrill. She has completed one project and is eager to do more (but I am saving this for a rainy/snowy day). I just wish the straight pins had not been included for safety reasons.
A great gift!! Posted 11/21/2011 by Lubna Bazzy
My daughter was thrilled when she unwrapped this sewing kit! She hasn't stopped putting pieces together! I think it's a winner!!
She loves it Posted 1/5/2011 by Cathy Kresge
From the moment my 9 year old daughter opend this, she was asking me to teach her to sew. Exactly what I was hoping for. she has made several of the items that came with the kit, and has also taken to fixing some things around the house. She needs more practice, but it is a great learning tool.
Product review of My First Sewing Kit Posted 12/27/2011 by Skye Loyd
Fun kit! It's a great introduction to sewing. My daughter was able to complete the stuffed elephant in an afternoon and is looking forward to the other projects. The contrasting colors really help with visibility. The projects require just the right amount of parental help. I do wish the directions were a little more in-depth, and the stuffing is the kind made for blankets, not stuffed animals. The box is kind of flimsy for the price, but it should hold up till the projects are done.
Great product but better for older kids Posted 12/26/2010 by Kendra Pollard
I bought this for my 8 year old and while she was really excited she had trouble with the straight stitch concept. I'm sure in a year or so this will be much easier. It's a great product but I would recommend it for older kids.
Sewing away Posted 1/3/2013 by Debra Galloway
Daughter loves it, likes the things she can make and loves the colors they come in. Easy for her to do and keeps her interest.
Review of My First Sewing Kit Posted 12/28/2012 - GRANDPARENT
She really liked it but it seems like adult help was always needed. Maybe after using it more she will become more independent. Very hard to get needle threaded. The needle threader broke right away so an adult always had to thread the needle. Thread should be longer so that you can continue sewing longer without always have to stop and get another piece and then more adult help in threading needle.
Great fun for girls and their grandmas Posted 12/30/2012 by Elizabeth Montgomery
This is great, helps develop fine motor skills and is good for my daughter to do with her Grandma. Everyone has had fun!
FUN! Posted 12/28/2012 by Penny Leech-Freed
Daughter loves this gift. She has had so much fun creating new things with her kit. She hopes to be a fashion designer one day so this is her first design. Thanks.
Good into to sewing, with help Posted 2/25/2013 by Katrina Van Walterop
I have a few sewing skills, so I can figure things out, but if you don't have any the directions aren't that great. Inside there are cut outs of animals to sew together, which my 7 year old daughter did, she wanted it to look like the picture. It comes with a bag of rick rack, they don't tell you how to attach it. I told her there is always the gule gun. I love that it comes in a great little suit case so everything fits in there and doesn't get lost. There are pins and needles so we had to tell her to be careful.

My almost 6 year old needed some instruction and support, but was able to align the patterns, details and make the stitches pretty well. It met our expectations and hers.

This is a great way for my 8 year old to interact on a new level with her grandmother who's hobby is quilt making. Now my 8 year old can show me the things that she makes with a real sense of accomplishment that is great for her self esteem.
Review for My First Sewing Kit Posted 12/16/2012 by Kb
We got this for both of our girls for Xmas - I think the girls will totally love this as they make their own clothes out of large prices of paper. Looking forward to seeing what they can do.
Cute Gift Posted 12/6/2012 by Elizabeth
This is a christmas present for my 8yo daughter so we haven't opened it yet but it looks really cute and the materials listed inside are perfect for quick (1h start to finish) but satisfying projects.
