Today I’m sharing a sewing project for kids that is from my book! This little cookie pincushion is perfect for beginners, a simple hand stitched sewing project for kids. Felt is one of the easiest fabrics for kids to work with because it sticks to itself and is sturdy. It also doesn’t fray, so no hemming is involved.

Sew With Me is divided into 5 chapters with 3 different sewing levels.

There are 60 projects inside so your children are sure to find a variety of things they’d like to make!

I have two little girls who are learning to sew and we’ve had so much fun working together! Like many children, they are not quite ready to sit down and make a project 100% on their own. Sew With Me was designed for beginners (ages 7-12) who still need a bit of help, those who know their way around a needle and thread, or those who are looking for basic machine stitched projects!

Sugar Cookie PinCushion

Sewing Level: 1

Now that you’re learning to sew, you’ll need a place to keep all of your pins. This pincushion looks like a cookie and you can even pick out your favorite colors of thread to use for the sprinkles.

Makes 1 sugar cookie pincushion

Materials

  • Cutting templates
  • Felt scraps for the cookie and frosting
  • Scissors
  • Embroidery thread in a variety of colors
  • Needle
  • Pillow stuffing
  • Pins

Instructions

Step 1: Using the cutting template, create patterns. Use the patterns to cut out two cookie shapes and one frosting shape out of felt scraps.

Step 2: Cut a length of embroidery thread and tie a knot at one end. Thread the other end through a needle. Hand stitch the frosting piece to one of the cookie pieces using a running stitch. Tie a knot in the back and trim the thread.

Now for the fun part: sprinkles!

Step 2: Choose a few of your favorite colors of embroidery thread. For this part of the project, you are going to use all 6 strands of embroidery thread from each length instead of only using a few strands from it. Since the thread will be thicker, you may want to use a needle with a bigger eye or ask an adult to help you thread the needle. Cut long lengths, thread your needle and stitch sprinkles all over in random places, only tying a knot when you change thread colors.

Note: The back of your project will look like a mess, but that’s okay! You are going to cover that up anyways with the other piece of felt. Just keep stitching until your cookie is nice and colorful.

Step 3: Stitch the second cookie piece to your top cookie and frosting piece using a thread that matches the color of your cookie. Leave a small opening to fill your cookie with the stuffing.

Step 4: Add a small amount of the stuffing and stitch the opening shut. Tie a knot and trim the threads.

Add the pins and you are done!

I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still re I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still recovering from Christmas 😂), but I always have holiday candy on hand! This year I filled the jar with petite sour hearts after hearing how amazing they are from @triedandtruemoms. They were right, we are all fans over here! Maybe more places will stock them now that they are in such demand. I ordered mine from @candynationusa (don’t waste your time looking on Amazon. They are charging twice as much for less candy).

Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

A great project to work on during Christmas break. She’s making herself a pink one after Christmas. We bought several colors of bulky yarn at Walmart for $2.97 each. Each skein makes 1 hat.
