My favorite sewing projects for kids

I made the list below with my 10-year-old daughter in mind, so these are basically my favorite kids’ sewing projects. Moreover, some of the projects featured here are already kid-tested.

Many of them can be done with minimal supervision, but that certainly depends on the age of the child and his skills.

You’ll find here a list of easy projects that kids will love to sew, from scrunchies and small pouches to easy skirts, headbands, toys, and even dog bandanas.

I noticed kids love to make cute little things not only for them but also for their brothers, sisters, friends, or their pets. They already know giving is as important as receiving.

It’s important to start with something simple that requires hand stitches, and then tackle some more complicated projects on the sewing machine.

If your kid is little and new to sewing, help her get started and gently guide her through the project, step-by-step.

I think doll clothes are a great way to start sewing. If you have an American Girl doll, take a look at this impressive collection of sewing patterns for 18-inch dolls and get inspired.

My daughters play a lot with their Paola Reina dolls and I shared some free patterns for 12-inch doll dresses, tops, and pants – you can find all of them here.

So, if you’re looking for a fun project to sew with your kids, have a look at these ideas.
