Fun with Stitchables! Book Review

For embroidery beginners or sewists who want a joyful diversion, Fun with Stitchables! provides easy embroidery projects to get started.

Adults and kids alike can learn how to cross-stitch with 37 punch-out templates that can be used as greeting card embellishments, ornaments, decorations and more.

Suzy Ultman provides easy-to-follow lessons on stitching and embroidery. This is a great book for grandparents to share with their grandchildren by teaching them to stitch and completing the projects together.

As Quarto Knows says, "The simple stitching patterns taught in this book promote growth and development, hand-eye coordination, as well as creativity and imagination."

It's a short book at 16 pages, but a lot of education and activities are packed into these super-cute pages. Stitching is a great way to bond and to encourage a child to get into sewing as a hobby. After using this fun book, a kid can move on to bigger cross-stitch patterns. The holes in the punch-out designs make it easy to learn to embroider. Best of all, the cute punch-out cards can be kept as momentos or passed along as gifts to family members, friends, teachers and more.

If you're looking for a fun rainy day activity to share with your kids or grandchildren, Fun with Stitchables! provides all you need for an adventurous time together.
