My First Patchwork Book: Hand and Machine Sewing (My First Sewing Book Kit series)

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.

Intended for children who are old enough to sew on a machine and have had some machine experience, this guide teaches young crafters the backbone of quilting: learning to piece fabrics together. The child will learn how to prepare the fabric included in the kit, draw around the template, and sew the patches together into a block to make a pillowcase or flag.
