Please welcome Heather to the TCL Celebrate Summer Series. Today she is showing a great craft to do with children. Easy Stitch Cards make perfect activities for kids!  Not only do kids love sewing cards, but you can create your own designs to keep them interested in this stitch cards activity. These are an excellent early learning tool and practice for their dexterity and fine motor skills.

Hello, Hello Today’s Creative Life Readers!

I’m Heather from The Sewing Loft and I’m excited to be hanging with you today.

Easy Stitch Cards

 
 
Since summer for my family normally involves a few long car rides, I thought I would share my easy stitch cards. These little sewing cards are great to tuck into an activity bag and break out with the kiddo’s get antsy on a road trip.

This project is for all levels.

Sewing Card Materials:

Sewing Card Tools:

Basic Instructions:

1. After you have polished off your cereal, open up the box and cut out cardboard to size. I suggest 5″ x 7″. It is easy to fill and can be placed in a frame to give to Grandma when you arrive for your visit.

2. Then draw a simple design on the card- or better yet, enlist the little ones.

3. With hammer and nail, punch holes all along the drawing. I suggest about every 1/4″ to 3/8″. Think of connect the dots! *Tip- have something underneath it to protect your work surface. I just used an old cardboard box.
 
4. Now, pull out your colored yarn and thread up your embroidery needle. (My girls are using a plastic one. It has a large eye for them to thread.)DIY Easy Stitch Cards for Children | Sewing cards for kids. Great craft idea for young children and preschool to improve fine motor skills and dexterity.

5. Tie a knot at the end and start stitching from the back of the card.DIY Easy Stitch Cards for Children | Sewing cards for kids. Great craft idea for young children and preschool to improve fine motor skills and dexterity. The Sewing Loft for Today's Creative Life
 
Aren’t they easy! The possibilities are really endless with these cards. My girls really enjoy drawing fun designs on the cards and are always excited to stitch them up. And if you are feeling stuck for inspiration you can always use coloring books. Either way, I’m sure these cards will help keep the kids entertained on a long ride or even rainy days this summer!

 

Thanks for having me Kim, it’s been a blast! I sure hope this project inspires you to dust off your machine and get the needle moving! Be sure to stop by and visit my sewing blog for more inspiration and easy sewing tips.
