Description
Winky Cherry introduces sewing to young seamsters--from simple stitches and doll making to understanding and using a sewing machine--in this series. Guides feature clever rhymes and simple instructions, which teach sewing skills, as well as responsibility, commitment, focus, patience, coordination, and orginization. Levels progress through hand sewing, embroidery, doll making, machine sewing, patchwork, and quilting. This kit introduces kids to sewing basics such as threading a needle, making knots, using pins, using dots, overstitching, and lock stitching. Step-by-step instructions guide children through stitching and stuffing felt animals. Including a book, two sets of bird shapes precut from quality felt, three yards each of four colors of crochet thread, and an additional 43 patterns, this kit is also a companion to "Yes, I Can Sew!"
