After months of stitching and planning it’s finally time to launch our first set of kid embroidery patterns! And, I couldn’t be more excited about it. I designed each pattern to be a big win for kids ages 6-11 (or older). I took all the best things I’ve learned from stitching with my kids and used them to build the perfect kit for both kid and parent. Let’s dive in and see what’s included with each kit.

Printed Fabric

If your kids are anything like mine, being patient is a big struggle. Waiting while you get their hoop all set up and the pattern traced is HARD. Having printed fabric is the perfect solution to this problem. With a printed pattern, starting your hoop is breeze. Simply tighten your fabric in the hoop and you are ready to stitch.

Best of all, printed fabric allows for more exciting designs without making the stitching too difficult. Each of the 4 designs above is stitched with 3-4 basic stitches. The stitches accent the print making the image jump off the fabric.

Bright Colors & Sequins

As a kid I LOVED bright colors. I couldn’t get enough of everything neon. As a parent, my kids are the same way. They always choose the brightest, sparkliest option. Consequently, I designed each hoop to have bright colors that pop. I even added sequins to two of the designs for extra excitement.

Both of the kits with sequins, come with instructions for attaching them in to different ways. One simple, and one a bit harder. Each kid gets to choose their difficulty level, and stitch in a way that works for them.

Supplies

Like all Nel & Jo Crafts kits, each kid kit comes with all the supplies needed except scissors. Supplies include:

• Printed cotton fabric
• Needle – big enough for little hands to use.
• Floss – with extra for inevitable kid mistakes.
• Hoop
• Sequins – if part of design.
• Printed instructions
• Digital access to our Beginner’s Guide
• Digital access to our Stitch Library
• Full tutorial video
• Project bag – to keep all your supplies organized.

Video Tutorial

For the first time here at Nel & Jo Crafts, each kid pattern will come with access to a full video tutorial. I want every kid to feel empowered to stitch with as little assistance as possible. Reading instructions with new big words can be challenging. Not to mention being a non-crafty parent with crafty kids trying to explain what to do. Each video tutorial goes over each stitch several times, in real time. I cover any tips or trick I can think of while stitching. I also do my best to offer other options for stitches if they are on the more difficult side.
