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 to explore something new. Plus, everyone can use basic sewing and mending skills.

Below is a list of supplies needed and links to the free printable patterns for these fun sea animals.

Supplies

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 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 could do most of the cutting and sewing without my help.
