Have you seen the new DIY softie kits? I've got bears and bunnies in fun, colorful patterns. No tracing the pattern, no transferring and embroidering the face, no applique for the tail or tummy. These are sooooooo easy. Just Cut. Sew. Stuff. Snuggle.
These make a ideal gifts for kids who are wanting to get started sewing. They jump right into the fun stuff (sewing and stuffing) and can have easy success with their very first project. The Everything-But-the-Scissors versions of the kits (they come with pins, needle, thread and stuffing) are a great option if you'll be travelling for the holidays and want something the kids can open and immediately work on/play with away from the comforts (and craft supplies) of home.
Or maybe your kid would like to sew up a gift for a younger sibling or cousin? These kits are a great - relaxed - option for them to make.
But it's not just for kids, of course. Sometimes grown-up stitchers need a project they can sew up in a jiffy. These little guys take less than an hour from start to finish. That's less than a single naptime!
Like the previous kits, these come with three levels of instructions.
The most basic instructions are printed right on the fabric - perfect for those with a bit of sewing experience.
If you want my usual crazy-detailed instructions with loads of step-by-step photos - you've got it! Download the bear instructions here, and the bunny instructions here.
Or maybe you wish I was right there with you, actually showing and talking you through every step of the process? Well, that's what video is for! There's a bunny video here and a bear video here.
I don't care if you just took your very first sewing machine out of the box. You can totally make these guys!
