Let Kids Sew Along With You
For beginning sewing projects, use these printable sewing cards so there are no sharp needles to worry about. With these sewing cards, their little fingers use a shoelace instead.
This low-tech sewing technique is also called lacing because shoelaces are used instead of sewing thread. The larger thread of the shoelace is easier for little ones to hold and push through the holes on the lacing sewing cards.

- We tried to make our own cards. Great idea to provide links for these printable sewing cards. Sewing by hand is enjoyable and a useful skill, one that is in danger of disappearing.

- I remember my grandmother using cards like these to teach me to sew. Sadly, I never progressed beyond that level, but thanks to Grandma and her lacing cards, I can generally conduct any emergency repairs required to make it home decently covered ;)
