These three beginner sewing projects for kids not only teach them how to sew but will keep them busy doing something fun.
My 9-year-old son started weaving in art class so I thought he’d like to try sewing at home. Our kids are out of school and have plenty of time on their hands so I thought this would be the perfect time to explore something new. Plus everyone can use basic sewing and mending skills. Below are the supplies and templates to get started.
Supplies
- Needle and thread
- Fabric
- Stick pins
- Thick felt
- Poly-Fil for stuffing
- Scissors
- Googly eyes
- Craft glue
- A printout of the patterns and instructions below

Sewing Basics – Video Links to Get Started
My mom taught me how to sew at a very young age. She taught me how to thread a needle and how to make a knot at the end when finished so all of my hard work wouldn’t unravel.
Here are some good links from Wikihow.com on How to Thread a Needle and Finish a Stitch.
If your kids are trying sewing for the first time you may want to help them get started but trust me they will pick it up fast! I made the patterns for these cute sea creatures simple so that my 9-year-old would be able to do most of the cutting and sewing without my help.
