Something a little different to do
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought this for my mature 6 year old. She really liked it for the first 15 minutes, but I ended up having to finish the craft for her. The needle is real and I was a little worried she’d hurt herself. She did drop it a few times and we had to comb the carpet to find it. So it’s not the most relaxing craft, but the end result is really cute and I think she’ll want to do it again. She says “I think it’s a really good present, but it was hard to thread the needle.”
my 5-year old loved it

my daughter was dying for me to teach her how to sew and i couldn’t find anything at the bricks and mortar bookstore or target. this was the perfect kit! it includes five easy projects that can be completed with increasing levels of skill. we sewed the little bag the afternoon the box arrived. the cat took a few days. we’ll do the elephant next. this will be my standard birthday present for her friends this year.
Not Good

I purchased this for my 6 year old daughter, the contents of the kit are nothing more than a travel sewing kit combined with all of $3 worth of sewing supplies. No patterns were including only extremely basic instructions and little more. Included scissors don’t work at all. The needles are regular sized needles and not of a large (and dulled type) that one would expect with a “first” sewing kit.
You’d do better to search inside the drawers of your bedside table and odds and end drawer and dump it into a bag than to purchase this useless kit.
A good first sewing kit

My 6 yo really enjoys this. She made a stuffed animal for a friend (with some adult help and guidance). Excellent activity. The case is not particularly well-constructed.
Wonderful present for crafty children

I purchased this kit for my seven year old who has never attempted sewing before and she has had a blast! The sewing kit is really nice since it comes with everything needed to complete the projects listed in the project booklet found in the sewing kit. The projects are very easy and my seven year old was able to do everything pretty much by herself thus avoiding frustration. The only complaint I would have about this set is that the scissors it comes with are useless since they are pretty much a toy so make sure your child has a pair of extra scissors handy when using this kit. Said this, I would say that this sewing kit is worth the money and is of a good overall quality.

My 7 year old granddaughter loved the sewing kit! It is a great opportunity to interact, have fun and also learn valuable skills.
Great for crafty kids

My daughter loves crafts, and she’s finally old enough to start learning how to sew. This kit is adorable, and my daughter is excited making her own stuffed animals. The embroidery floss holds easily in the needle’s eye, but it is TOUGH to thread the needle. I suppose I could just give her a bigger needle, but then the thread wouldn’t hold as snugly. Everything is precut, even the decorative trim pieces. It’s a fun way to create some satisfying projects she can proudly display.
THE BEST BEGINNERS SEWING KIT I’VE FOUND!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I searched a long time to find a quality beginners sewing kit for my 6 year old granddaughter and finally found this one. I am happy to have purchased Alex Toys “My First Sewing Kit”, as it contains EVERYTHING needed to create projects, start to finish, giving a child confidence to go the next step in a knowledge and gift she will take with her the rest of her life–sewing! Included are: Patterns for small animals, stuffing, colorful embroidery thread, needles, pins, pin cushion, buttons, measuring tape and scissors (though I read reviews about them being the only poor-quality item, so I bought the Metro 5-pc scissor pkg through Amazon–Excellent!). All of these sewing tools are housed in a sturdy, colorful and roomy case with a handle, keeping all items and projects organized in one spot.
Upon opening this sewing kit at her birthday party, my granddaughter forgot everything else and wanted to start a sewing project! I’d say this is my proof of recommendation of this terrific product!
Fun projects, Nice fabric, Terrible scissors
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This is a nice introduction to sewing for about ages 5 to 9. The project ideas are pretty cute and the fabric and trims are colorful, so most kids will be excited about making the stuffed animals and the bag, at least. (We didn’t have a book of the correct size for the book cover project, but used the fabric for something else.) The projects aren’t too complicated for beginning sewers but are neat enough to interest a (slightly) more experienced young seamstresses. My one criticism is that the scissors are just toys, and do not cut at all, and the “thimble” is also pretty useless if your child really needs to push a stitch through.
Great beginner sewing kit!

My 6 yr old daughter got this from Santa this year. She loves it! It comes in a cute little suitcase. There are lots of accessories. We have almost finished the elephant. We just need to sew on the ears. Great for kids that are not ready for the sewing maching yet. I think she sews better by hand than I do!
Give a toy that teaches a survival skill! (Beautifully!)

Sewing is so much more than a delightful skill to have, and it’s way much more than a hobby to pass the time. Teach your child to sew, and down the road you have also educated and clothed a family, and saved them untold amounts of money as time goes by.
This wonderful kit supplies your child with all that she/he needs to begin a sewing project immediately. There are lots of very easy projects, pre-cut patterns and a carrying case. You can start sewing right away!! It includes eight colors of embroidery floss, materials to make a notebook cover , materials to create little animals (and stuffing), trims, pins, pin cushion, and lots more.
Once you open the box, you are prepared to get going without another trip to the store, and with time, your child can become an excellent crafts person with a needle. Use your imagination and just picture the custom-made wardrobe to come!

She has her own notions now, could use cards to store thread, but other wise wonderful.
LOVE this toy!

This is a great kit for some one who wants to learn to sew. It’s filled with lots of “stuff” so you can make simple, but challenging, projects. My 7 yr. old daughter loves it! Definitely requires adult guidance for younger kids, but even I like it so I don’t mind helping!
