Overview

Winky Cherry introduces sewing to young seamsters—from simple stitches and doll making to understanding and using a sewing machine—in this series. Guides feature clever rhymes and simple instructions, which teach sewing skills, as well as responsibility, commitment, focus, patience, coordination, and orginization. Levels progress through hand sewing, embroidery, doll making, machine sewing, patchwork, and quilting.

 

Explaining seam allowances, tapering seams, snipping and clipping fabric and thread, and stitching corners, this kit guides young crafters through the process of machine sewing a star-shaped pillow. This kit includes fabric for two stars and practice sewing papers, with which kids can hone their sewing machine skills by creating straight lines, curves, corners, and lock stitches.
