Do you have a kiddo that would be interested in learning embroidery? Well this is the perfect starters/pre-embroidery book to do it! It starts by listing supplies you will need then gives simple instructions with photos for threading the needle and knotting the end of the thread. Afterwards, it teaches some basic stitches (again with photos and simple steps) that children can practice along with using, get this, punch out forms with grid-holes already in them! Thats right! My favorite part of this book is that it comes with thick punch out templates that can be practiced on or turned into treasures such as ornaments, mobiles, framable art, and more.The templates are super cute and whimsical and are varied enough to be interesting. They include everything from suns to Russian matryoshka dolls! Also, there are small paper templates of them as well so that you can plot out how you want to stitch them before you get started. This adorable little book thought of everything. *I received this book in exchange for an honest review, which this is.
I love this book!!! After the book arrived I picked up some yarn needles and yarn at the store to get my 7-year-old started. After I showed her how to thread the needle, she had a great time going through the book and picking out which adorable template she wanted to sew. It took a few tries to get the hang of the needle and which direction she should be going with her yarn, but soon we had a pile of completed projects on the table. She even turned down an offer to play a video game with her brother in favor of more sewing! The book is super cute and the templates are great. I highly recommend it!*I received a copy of this book to review for myself. All opinions posted here are mine and mine alone.
Not only does this book contain 36 completely darling punch out templates, but it teaches you the basics and gives you ideas for what to do with your stitchables. This is more than just a book. It is a wonderful activity to share with any young child to help develop fine motor skills and pass some time. We brought this and a baggy of supplies with us on a plane ride and it kept my 5 year olds engaged for most of the 3 hour flight. Grab some thread, needles, scissors and this book and you have hours of fun ahead.
My daughter is having a great time with this stitching activity book. We had lots of yarn already, but I bought a plastic needle for her and she is trying out ways to stitch with it. Thereâs lots of cute characters that she likes to punch out and then stitch. Itâs simple and fun and is also a good quiet activity, too. I think it is a good way to get started learning how to sew, plus itâs really fun, too!
The book itself has great illustrations that are adorable. I like that the book has a starter page with shapes. The first few pages give instructions/tips on the process. I could see buying this for an older grade schooler interested in learning embroidery. The pages are thick and study. The downside, I wish there were more pages!
What a cute, sweet book! My 5 yr old struggles with learning how to knit (she desperately wants to!), so I was thrilled to get a copy of this book for review. It is the perfect way to introduce her to sewing and she is delighted with it!
Fun and easy enough for 5 year old to do with help.
