Fun with Stitchables! by Suzy Ultman is a simple way to get kids interested in creating things through sewing. My daughter and I had to grab some essentials for this book, such as embroidery needles and embroidery thread. It took me a while to grab these materials, but once we got them, she was off to the races. She even learned how to use a needle threader when her nana was here visiting. She already learned how to make knots at summer camp with the Girl Scouts, so she had that part down.
It was good to see her enthusiastic about these designs and learning to use different colors in the designs. The book includes step-by-step instructions on how to thread the needle, how to tie the knot, and some stitching basics, as well as knotting the end. The book includes frameable prints, ornaments, embellishments for greeting cards, and so much more.
Fun with Stitchables! by Suzy Ultman is a fun activity for kids to learn about sewing and coordinating colors and creating patterns. My daughter and her nana had a fun time creating together, and I’m sitting here next to her while she does another one. She must love it if she keeps going back for more.

What a neat idea! I bet F would have loved these when she was younger. Actually, I’m not sure she knows how to sew since she’s always made me repair her stuffed animals, etc. LOL
Maybe she should get one to learn how to do it too. lol
I remember learning to thread, and now I wish I had some little kid to do it for me since my eyes aren’t what they were when I was little for sure!
She really likes these. I remember when I was about 4 years older than she is now, sewing clothes with my nana for my dolls.
