Are you stuck at home with the kids? Virginia has closed schools for the rest of the school year and I’ve taken the jump into homeschooling them for the last few months. My oldest has shown interest in learning to sew so I decided to put together a list of simple projects that are great for kids learning to sew. There are some practice worksheets to trace with the sewing machine!
