Inspiring young students to think of embroidery as art, the simple rules in this how-to show children how to stitch letters, borders, and hearts. Tried and true, this handbook leaves children with a feeling of accomplishment, as well teach lessons in safety, sharing, decision making, confidence, and patience. The complete kit includes thread, hoop, and fabrics.
