Felt Sewing

Kristin just finished sewing this lovely project for Kal's birthday.  He is intensely interested in mobiles, and she had this pre-punched felt kit laying around from her stocking last year, so she decided to complete it (the brand is Colorbok, but I looked online and didn't see them for sale anywhere).  This was the perfect project for a five year old!  Although she has done some hand sewing and some machine sewing with assistance, using the pre-punched kit made it easy for her to be more independent with the process.

If you look closely at the heart, you'll see that it's two different colors.  She lost one of the heart pieces and we improvised with a scrap piece of felt.  I was able to punch holes with her plastic needle so she could continue, although it would have been easier with a small gauge hole punch.  I think I may whip up a few of these kits so she can sew anytime she wants!
