15 Easy Sewing Projects For Kids

Sewing is considered a great life skill for any child to learn, everyone would benefit from knowing how to attach a button or repair any tear, and it might be the start of something even bigger.

Not a long time ago, it was common for kids to learn the spectacular art of sewing.

When the clothes were made by hand, and hats and mittens were usually a living room project, it typically made sense that children would learn to provide these items for themselves as they grew up.

While your children might not need to create their own wardrobes or something like that but there are still several real benefits to investing your time and resources into introducing your children to the art of basic sewing.

Kids often have problems when they have to do some precise work with their own hands. This is usually normal when they are small, it might be left untreated, and they might become very rough with their hand coordination which could cause them difficulties when they are writing, playing, or using some kind of tools.

If they start sewing, these issues can be avoided altogether.

Since it requires delicate and precise hand movements, sewing helps them to develop fine motor skills suitably. If you want your child to have a hobby that will have a positive impact on their character development and mental growth, consider teaching them how to sew.

5 Points To Help You Choose A Sewing Project

1. Start with a basic project for kids to sew and add new skills to each project.
2. Select quick projects that can be completed in 1 sewing session.
3. Think about what your child might actually use in daily life.
4. Let your kids get involved more in selecting projects. Let them pick the fabrics and colors. The more work they do, the more they will enjoy it.
5. Let them customize their own project, so it feels like their own.

East Fat Quarter Drawstring Bag

These bags are quick and super easy to make. Kids can carry their art and craft materials or other lightweight materials in a bag made by themselves.

Things You'll Need

1. One fat quarter.
2. 25″ of ribbon.

Steps To Follow

1. You can start by trimming any selvage edges off the fat quarter. Fold down the top edge about ½″, press, and sew in place. It's totally okay if it is not exact.
2. Then fold the fat quarter in half width-wise with right-sides-together. Sew the bottom and side edges together using a ⅜″ seam allowance. Stop and backstitch roughly 4″ from the top.
3. Press side seam allowance open, including the 4″ portion not sewn together. Be careful and sew those edges down, starting at the top of one side, pivoting roughly about ¼″ beneath the opening and backstitching once, then up the other side.
4. Fold the top edge down 2″ and pin it in place. Sew the flap down to create your casing.
5. You may then stitch the top edge of the bag about ¼″ away from the edge to give it more of a finished look.
6. You can also add a boxed bottom to give my bag a little more shape. This is purely optional. But it is super easy if you want to do it. 
7. Sew right on the drawn line and trim excess fabric ¼″ away from the seam. Repeat the same with the other corner.
8. Turn the bag right side out. Then put a safety pin at one end of your ribbon to help you thread it through your casing.
9. Then simply tie the ends of the ribbon in a knot. And you are done.
