Book Reviews of My First Sewing Book: Hand Sewing

Book Review: "I'm so proud I made this myself!"
Summary: 5 Stars

Can't understand calling this book a "gimmick." The author obviously likes children, loves sewing, and spent a long time making friendly, instructive rhymes that small kids can read (and remember, and quote) and follow ON THEIR OWN. There's real value to a small book (I have the kit, and it's great) that teaches one thing very well, and establishes good sewing rules (clean work space, hands washed, put the needle back in the cushion immediately). It lays a good foundation, and that's worth a great deal.

It's very true this only teaches the blanket stitch, but this is a great stitch to learn first, as there's less finger pricking and a chance to develop some control. My children were really excited to make stuffed animals for their younger siblings. Both of them came to me separately and said, "I'm so proud I did this." Now they have the confidence to go on to the "My First Embroidery Book," which will help them learn other hand stitching, in preparation for quilt work later.

Didn't initially expect much, but this has been one of the best teaching aids I've purchased.

Summary of My First Sewing Book: Hand Sewing

This beginning sewing kit revives an appreciation for the art of hand sewing while developing children's motor skills.
