Sewing Machines at School

I don’t think you need me to say it, but I will in case you weren’t sure how I feel, kids can learn to use the sewing machine early.  4 or 5.  Yep.  It’s true!   Michelle received a sewing machine for her classroom.  Check out what this little seamster has already made and read about what her other kids are making.

You can totally get your little one up and sewing.  Check out One Hour Craft for some Sewing Lessons for your kids (there are 3 total). (or come for a lesson at LuckyStitches)

There is no need to purchase a “kids” sewing machine, they can learn on yours, or grandmas.  Start with paper or felt so the kids can see what the needle does when they wind the flywheel or step on the pedal.  Make something fun and simple.  It’s fun and…in case you weren’t sure, sewing helps your kids practice eye/hand coordination, patternmaking, math, color theory….learning as it should happen…while playing.
