This review is from: Alex Toys My First Sewing Kit (Toy)

This is a nice introduction to sewing for about ages 5 to 9. The project ideas are pretty cute and the fabric and trims are colorful, so most kids will be excited about making the stuffed animals and the bag, at least. (We didn't have a book of the correct size for the book cover project, but used the fabric for something else.) The projects aren't too complicated for beginning sewers but are neat enough to interest a (slightly) more experienced young seamstresses. My one criticism is that the scissors are just toys, and do not cut at all, and the "thimble" is also pretty useless if your child really needs to push a stitch through.

I searched a long time to find a quality beginners sewing kit for my 6 year old granddaughter and finally found this one. I am happy to have purchased Alex Toys "My First Sewing Kit", as it contains EVERYTHING needed to create projects, start to finish, giving a child confidence to go the next step in a knowledge and gift she will take with her the rest of her life--sewing! Included are: Patterns for small animals, stuffing, colorful embroidery thread, needles, pins, pin cushion, buttons, measuring tape and scissors (though I read reviews about them being the only poor-quality item, so I bought the Metro 5-pc scissor pkg through Amazon--Excellent!). All of these sewing tools are housed in a sturdy, colorful and roomy case with a handle, keeping all items and projects organized in one spot.

Upon opening this sewing kit at her birthday party, my granddaughter forgot everything else and wanted to start a sewing project! I'd say this is my proof of recommendation of this terrific product!

5.0 out of 5 stars Give a toy that teaches a survival skill! (Beautifully!), July 15, 2008

Sewing is so much more than a delightful skill to have, and it's way much more than a hobby to pass the time. Teach your child to sew, and down the road you have also educated and clothed a family, and saved them untold amounts of money as time goes by.

This wonderful kit supplies your child with all that she/he needs to begin a sewing project immediately. There are lots of very easy projects, pre-cut patterns and a carrying case. You can start sewing right away!! It includes eight colors of embroidery floss, materials to make a notebook cover , materials to create little animals (and stuffing), trims, pins, pin cushion, and lots more.

Once you open the box, you are prepared to get going without another trip to the store, and with time, your child can become an excellent crafts person with a needle. Use your imagination and just picture the custom-made wardrobe to come!
