Why this ALEX Toys set
This is the kit we hand a child who has never threaded a needle. The illustrated booklet walks through the straight stitch, the finishing knot and simple applique, then turns those three skills into a coin pouch, three stuffed animals and a notebook cover with a pencil loop. Felt is pre-cut, the tomato pincushion is the real thing, and the projects get harder in a sensible order.
What the kit includes
- My first sewing kit: The perfect sewing kit for beginners of all ages. Colorful and fun sewing projects to engage even the youngest seamster or designer.
- Materials, tools, and instructions included: Start out the young crafter with everything they need and no last minute trips to the hobby or fabric store for parents. It is all in this cute kit-even the nostalgic tomato pin cushion!
- Learn the basics: Easy-to-follow illustrated step-by-step instructions teach basics like threading a needle, straight stitch, finishing stitch, cutting a pattern, and applique just to name a few!
- Pouches, puppies, and pencils: Patterns included to make a coin pouch, 3 stuffed animals, and even a book or notebook cover with a pencil holder.

What buyers wrote about this set
I bought this as a gift for my daughter who showed interest in sewing. She loves to draw, paint, do all sorts of crafty activities so I felt it would be a good stepping stone to more intricate sewing activities. She was very excited upon receiving it. I decided to sit back and see how much she could do by herself, and although I was very tempted to help her out, she was able to figure out how to do the various projects pretty much on her own, just needing a little bit of help here and there. She really loved being able to sew and make things for me and her siblings. Definite recommend!
I forgot I got this for my daughter until she pulled it out last weekend and asked to do it. I thought it would be way above her level, since she's 6. She made a dog. She picked out all of the felt pieces she wanted on it, picked out the colors for the thread, and did almost all of the sewing. I threaded the needle and helped her fit it together, and then I cleaned up some bad stitches, but that's it. I also helped her stuff it, and I did the button eyes because she asked me to, but I'm sure she could do it herself. Overall, a very adorable kit that lets kids be creative but gives them enough guidance to make cute projects. Win.
This isn’t a paid advertisement, Legitimately, This kit is amazing. Here’s why. My daughter struggles with her focus, ability to sit still, and confidence. I bought her this kit and the colors and textures of everything in it kept her very engaged. She focused intensely and created her first “hand made” stuffed animal. Not only did she get a huge confidence boost, she found a crafting hobby she enjoys and is taking at her own pace. She also developed a better appreciation for things and her toys now that she realizes the work that goes into making something beautiful. I just wish I would have bought it for her sooner.
This is another lovely Alex craft kit. I'm so happy they expanded on their craft selection. The box is sturdy and colourful, and the sewing accessories are cute. The paper measuring tape should be replaced with something a little sturdier, but that's minor stuff, overall. The little tomato pin cushion is sweet and my daughter enjoys putting her pretty pins in it.
