Pre-beginner sewing lessons are projects and activities that will help children 6-8 years old and up ( the age is just a beginning guideline) learn some basic skills, such as hand sewing. These kids sewing projects will start by using a needle and thread and learning how to tie a knot in the thread. Learning to sew by hand requires a lot of practice. This will also help them prepare for doing sewing projects on the sewing machine.
