It beats the hell out of the plastic pencil box with a magnet for needles and few spools of thread jacked from a hotel sewing kit that I threw together.<br /><br />I will restate my annoyance at "kids craft kits!" that don't seem to promote any type of skill development. I mean, who really needs to learn how to add foam stickers to something? I think these kits are beautiful and very useful.Secondhand Nationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14781151637533266463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429236768920181639.post-21342099963964299362010-04-26T16:20:43.659-07:002010-04-26T16:20:43.659-07:00what a great idea! this just might be what my niec...what a great idea! this just might be what my niece will be getting for her birthday! you are so creative and smart!Joellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052513788736920270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429236768920181639.post-70626232988262995422010-04-26T13:25:54.318-07:002010-04-26T13:25:54.318-07:00yes please!

I fully intend to make sure Baby Boy knows how to sew a thing or two when he grows up and I cringe at the cheap plastic crap that goes out as a children's "sewing kit" these days. I have a question too--is the Crayola box pictured in the middle of the sewing box for fabric crayons? I didn't know Crayola made such a product. Just out of curiosity, where did you find them?Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449906399804672994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429236768920181639.post-63969681158855531672010-04-25T08:23:59.601-07:002010-04-25T08:23:59.601-07:00I have two boys that are budding sewers (3 and 5) ...I have two boys that are budding sewers (3 and 5) and i would love to make them kits for christmas next year.
