Why learn to use a needle & thread?

The benefits to a child in mastering a skill are wide & varied, self confidence being one of the most important.

One of the most popular activities we see today is young people identifying there clothes with alterations & additions.

Needlework is a life skill, not so important as it once was when we would repair & mend as a matter of course.

As we migrate from the temporary consumer mentality to a resource responsible society, once again needlework skills will be required.

 
A great way to get them using a needle & thread is to give them something easy to use and which allows them to produce a finished article they can show off!
