Here you find a variety of fun sewing projects like fabric bags, stuffed animals, and clothing items, that can not only help your child build basic sewing skills, but also help them fashion a finished item they'll actually end up using and enjoying. And these projects are also great for any adult who's just learning how to sew or wants to improve her sewing skills.

And a number of these projects can be sewn from felt, which is a very kid-friendly fabric because it doesn't fray like woven fabrics do. Which means there will be no raw seams to finish and the item can be sewn wrong sides together, eliminating the need to turn the item right side out after sewing.

And your kids can raid your scrap pile (or even repupose old clothing) for their projects (many of these projects are small enough for scraps), which means your kids won't have to practice on your "good" fabric if you don't want them to.

And if you are actually teaching your child how to sew, you may find the following tips helpful: Help your child choose a project appropriate for her skill level so that she's less likely to get frustrated and can experience the confidence that will come from successfully completing a project. Also, you may want to start by teaching your child how to hand-sew before teaching him how to use a sewing machine. This can be a great way to teach fabric and construction basics and it will be easier to undo any mistakes she may make. Supervise young children not only at the sewing machine, but also when hand-sewing because they'll be handling sharp objects like scissors and needles. And don't pressure or expect perfection from your child.
