    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good sewing resource for an 8yo girl.  She already makes up her own little projects with scraps of material and thread in her free time.  I would like to continue encouraging this and help her learn better technique as well.  Any suggestions?

    SCM has a hand-sewing handicraft DVD with instructions and projects.  I think it is worth checking out.  You can find it in their store.

    If you have read or plan to read the Little House series there are 2 books you may want to look into. My Little House Sewing Book and My Little House Crafts Book (which I believe has a few other sewing projects). Both might be at your local Library if you wanted to look before buying. They have used copies for cheap on. Amazon.

    Here is a link to a book I bought for my daughter. We haven’t used it too much yet, but it has some nice projects in it, and it comes with patterns. There is even a pattern for a simple skirt. Instructions are written at a second grade reading level.

    My kids have enjoyed this book: http://www.amazon.com/My-First-Sewing-Book-Projects/dp/1907563717/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1432830330&sr=8-7&keywords=sewing+with+kids

    I got this for DD on her 8th birthday and it came out really cute! http://www.amazon.com/My-Studio-Girl-Travel-Buddies/dp/B00BXZI79W/ref=pd_bxgy_21_text_z

    I’ve found my DC like sewing with felt and embroidery floss the most since there is no hemming.

    Wow, these all look like really great suggestions.  I actually have the Little House Craft Book, and didn’t even think about that. Thank you all so much! I’m looking forward to doing some of these things with my daughter.
