15 Easy Sewing Projects For Kids, Tweens and Teens

My girlies are getting older and have started showing more interest in learning more “grown up” activities, like sewing. But, of course they need to start off with the simpler types of projects…..and since I’m a champ at sewing straight lines (and somewhat wiggly)….that’s exactly what I teach them.

I’ve been on the lookout for some cute things they can start off with and these are some that caught my eye!

This Cloud Pillow is such a cute spin on a Tooth Fairy pillow!

These Fabric Keychains would make a fun rainy day craft! And you can use some of those fabric scraps up.

*Things to Watch out for*

~Hilarity while kids are getting used to finding the right pressure when using the foot pedal. Makes me laugh so hard when it scares them when they get it going to fast and then they’ll freak out and just stop completely….priceless!

~Kids having fun with you as they learn (and succeed at) something new….priceless as well!

Have fun!
