How to Teach a Child to Sew: Lesson 2

If you haven’t seen our first lesson, click here read it. Please use this one first as it is an important building block.

In this lesson I will show you how to teach your child to sew around the edge of a material and how to sew around corners (how to pivot). In the third lesson, you will be able to teach your child to sew a very easy bag . Once again, Milly (my little 7 year old princess) and I had a great time.

Ta Da! Lesson Number Two is finished. To give her more practice at sewing around edges, take the same piece of felt, a ruler and a felt-tipped pen. Draw a box a little smaller than the previous line of stitching. Do this for as many times as she wants to.

I guarantee she will be very impressed with herself. Tell her that in the next lesson you will be making a bag together! Whet her appetite for more sewing.

Please Remember….

• Don’t take your eyes from her for a minute. I didn’t take a photo of step 6 because I couldn’t take my eyes from her sewing.
• Remind her that as soon as you say ’stop’ she must take her foot off the pedal.
• Keep encouraging her and telling her what a great job she is doing!
• Have fun, enjoy this special time and know she will remember this for a long time to come!

Enjoy!
