My First Embroidery Book KIT: A Name Sampler

The My First Embroidery Book kit includes an embroidery hoop, gingham sampler fabric, flannel backing, and five colors of crochet thread. Through simple rhymes and clever illustrations, this second book in the My First Sewing Book series introduces children ages 5 and up to embroidery. Part of Winky Cherrys hands-on approach, the projects encourage children to slow down and enjoy the process of learning to sew. Fledgling embroiderists will learn basic techniques, such as the cross-stitch, by stitching their names onto gingham using charts as guides. Inspiring young students to think of embroidery as art, the simple rules in this how-to show kids how to stitch letters, borders, and hearts. Tried and true, this handbook leaves children with a feeling of accomplishment, as well teach lessons in safety, sharing, decision making, confidence, and patience. Winky Cherry's unique My First Sewing Book program teaches young children not only sewing skills, but life skills: responsibility, commitment, focus, patience, coordination, organization, and how to follow rules, all through the enjoyment of sewing. In six books, levels progress from simple hand sewing, embroidery, and doll making, to machine sewing, patchwork, and quilting. The three hand sewing books feature clever rhyming instructions for children as young as 5. The three machine sewing books are for children ages 7 and older. All six titles have simple, clearly-illustrated instructions. Each book builds on the previous books, and each book can stand alone. See more
