Sewing a basic running stitch seems like a simple task – until you try to teach it to a young child. The hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness that’s required can be a challenge for young hands. Trixie from Coloured Buttons shares her best advice for teaching kids the basics of hand sewing – including sewing a running stitch and threading a button. With these basic skills, they can start sewing their own softies and other small projects!!
