Little Stitchers! Week 3 Giveaway and Cutting Guides

Welcome back to another week of Little Stitchers!  I have an awesome friend of mine from 2 little hooligans guest posting with a really great giveaway, so please scroll down for that!
*********************************************** 

 Last week, we discussed the Sewing Printable Pack and I focused on the Sewing Straight Lines sheet.  I have had so many of you send me photos of your budding sewing lovers using those sheets and that thrills me to no end!  Please continue printing out those sheets, and specifically focus on having your child sew curves (which we will discuss again next week).  Print out the Sewing Curves sheet 1 HERE.

Because I have a week full of guest postings to fulfill, I will not have a true Kids Can Sew! this week.  However, next week we will discuss cutting, practicing that technique and a real project!  Feel free to print out the Sewing Printables and have your child practice cutting along the lines, since that is a very important sewing skill. Starting next week, we will begin true projects and cutting is the first step!

I have created a few extra cutting sheets for fun, while you wait.  Have your child cut these out and ensure their safety when using scissors.  
Keep that thumb up!

Today, I have one of my very good blogging friends with a wonderful and meaningful post and giveaway.  She sent me the most amazing book and we want one of you to win one, as well!

Hi, I am Christina and I blog over at 2 little hooligans. I am here today to talk about sewing with kids as well as one of our favorite books. I know as bloggers we are constantly trying to encourage others to sew yet we somehow forget the most important ones…those little kids of ours who are right in front of us. That is why I am loving Hayley’s Kids Can Sew! series so much. It encourages us to teach and sew with our children. These moments are so important in their lives as well as ours. Plus, teaching your kids to sew is so rewarding! Remember the first time you made something and how it made you feel? Well multiply that by 100x and that is how you feel after seeing one of your kids create something. I won’t lie, creating with little ones does take a little practice. Just don’t give up on it if it doesn’t go smoothly at first. It is just like anything, the more you do it, the easier it will get. And you will be amazed at how fast kids learn and how much fun it becomes!
