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!
