Thinking about teaching a child to sew?
My youngest daughter Yiscah first started sewing when she was three. I vividly remember how she used to peek into the room whenever I was teaching a class so she could watch the older girls sew. After every class she’d ask me why she couldn’t join in. Being the wise parent, I told her that she was too little just yet but she always insisted she wasn’t. One day I decided to let her sew something simple and to my surprise, she did a pretty good job… and she altered forever my ideas about when you should start teaching a child to sew. I still find people who believe, as I once did, that children have to be a bit older before they start sewing. Not true. So here are some tips to help you maximize enjoyment and minimize problems when you teach a child to sew.
1. Getting them excited

My niece is constantly after me for little sewing projects
She is six, low on skills but high on motivation 🙂
so I'm looking forward to part 2!!!

Wanting to sew is the best starting point…and with a little practice she'll be making her own cushions and softies!
