15 Machine Embroidery Projects For Kids

Machine embroidery is fun by itself, of course. But how much MORE fun is it when you create something with a much-loved child?

Whether you're preparing for a birthday party or looking to do a craft at a Grandma sleepover (I LOVED Grandma sleepovers!), here are 15 projects designed with kids in mind. 

#1: Easy Appliques

Easy Appliques are perfect for kids and you can put them on ANYTHING! Why not embellish a beach bag, T-shirt, bedroom decor, or other blank together?
