Choosing a children's sewing kit

The kid will be able to sew his first toy at the age of 3 years. To really interest a modern boy or girl in this kind of creativity, it is best to start by sewing small-sized and easy-to-do crafts. As the skills develop, the child will be able to take on more complex and interesting work.

Children's sewing or embroidery kits help to sew beautiful products for subsequent games without the use of complex equipment and prior skill.

There are different kits for baby sewing. Let's consider the most popular ones.

This is one of the most popular types of sets, because with its help any girl can create a beautiful doll and a set of dresses for her with her own hands. This set usually includes fabrics for sewing a stylish dress or skirt, cotton trousers. Thicker fabrics will be needed for sewing outerwear: jacket, jackets, vests.

The set will also include hair (special wefts) for creating a doll's hairstyle, ready-made shoes or materials for making shoes, as well as various accessories to complete the doll's image: ribbons, buttons, flowers, laces. Each set contains material for creating a doll's body, all the necessary patterns and instructions with a detailed description of all stages of work.

A teddy bear or a donkey, which entered your home not from the shelf of toy stores, but were born in the hands of the child himself, will become really favorite crafts. Products made from materials such as soft felt and plush, cotton or faux fur are in great demand.

Children 3-4 years old are not yet allowed to use the needle on their own. They can purchase sets that do not require stitching of various elements. Children should only carefully stuff the finished toy with soft material and seal the seam well with special adhesive tape.

From 7-8 years old, the baby, being under the supervision of parents, will be able to neatly sew soft fabric by himself. With the help of adults, he will be able to master various types of neat stitches, gain skills in working with a pattern, and sew a soft toy himself.

Kits of this kind are suitable for children from 5 years old. They include embroidery hoops, parts from various fabrics, threads and various decorative elements. The kit also includes a safety plastic needle.

Embroidery on a special fabric of various patterns will surely become one of your child's favorite activities, especially if you pick up beautiful and interesting pictures and completely secure the process of children's creativity. You can choose patterns for embroidery in such a way that the child with a great desire will want to embroider over and over again.

A set for working with threads is a dark-colored canvas with visible markings of a potential painting, colored floss threads, a needle and a detailed diagram. With the help of adults, the kid will be able to make stitches himself, thereby filling in the silhouettes on the background. Multi-colored lines can cross each other. Such an image looks bright, and a darkened background allows you to emphasize the colorfulness of colored threads.

Such kits can be purchased for children from 7-8 years old. Instead of threads, ribbons are used here: they will need to make stitches, and then straighten and shape. A three-dimensional type of picture will decorate any interiors or can become a gift.

An interesting idea for the creativity of little needlewomen from 8 years old. The set includes colored sequins, bright beads, dark-colored fabric with a certain outline, a sewing needle and detailed instructions. The child will be asked to embroider a favorite pet according to the ready-made pattern.

This set is great for girls from 9 to 12 years old. We can assume that you are acquiring an almost real workshop for a little designer. The set contains various fabrics, colored threads, needles, special marking pencils. The main value of such an expensive set is that it is almost like a real sewing machine. It runs on batteries. The set is perfect for multiple use. Recommended for play only under the supervision of an adult.

To begin with, you should decide what kind of creativity most attracts your child. Take into account the opinion of the baby himself and his age.

Read the instructions that come with these kits very carefully. Pay attention to the child's temperament, attentiveness and perseverance. Think about how long his interest in the chosen set will last. Many children start to embroider with ribbons or sequins, but they never finish their work, so it makes sense to choose simpler sets first.

Be sure to take into account the reviews that other users leave about specific kits from well-known manufacturers. There you can get information about the quality of the offered product, the availability of all the complete set, as well as whether the children like working with such sets.

Do not overlook the bright sewing kits of Chinese manufacturers. Their products are sometimes distinguished by greater originality, a wider choice of work options and a pleasant cost.
