Klutz Sew Mini Treats Craft Kit, 8" Length x 1.5" Width x 9" Height

This Klutz Sew Mini Treats kit is such a playful way to introduce young makers to basic sewing. The instructions are clear and kid-friendly, and the tiny treat projects are adorable and rewarding to finish.

Absolutely wonderful!! The instructions are easy to follow and the materials are great. Pros: - Super cute! - Easy to make; just cutting and sewing. The book tells you how to do the stitches needed for the projects, and if you're anything like me you'll get the hang of it quickly. - Clear instructions; even when I was a bit delirious from the heat I was able to sew a little piece of toast properly. - Gives you something fun to do when you're bored. - Quality materials; no cheapness here. Issues: - I wish there were more sheets of several colours of felt; trying to make a green apple proved not possible because of just how much felt is needed for other projects. - I think there should be an extra sheet of eyes and cheek blushes; with how many extras I made of some items there just wasn't enough cute lil blushes to go around! - The needles need to be significantly sharper. Even my sharp needles had a little bit of trouble going through the felt occasionally, and when that happened I knew that the needles that were given to me in this package wouldn't have a chance of piercing the felt. If you buy this, I recommend that you have your own needles handy. - There should be reminders on pages with patterns that need to be flipped to flip them. I've, more than once, accidentally traced a pattern twice the same way that needed to be flipped, because I was just so focused and eager to sew. Not a huge issue, but it'd be very helpful. Aside from all that, if I were able to say anything to Klutz, it'd be "make another edition of this!" I absolutely love making tiny little foods and the instructions in this were so clear, and I also love their method of making the patterns as a cardboard piece instead of just paper like I've seen many other patterns. It ensures that the patterns last and I'm sure that even after I create everything in this kit I'll still be making more little foods using these patterns (I'm even planning to buy more felt specifically to make more!). I did buy this for myself, so I'm not entirely sure how a child would fare with this, but I'd probably recommend them to be at least eight years old or so, and to definitely have some supervision. All in all a worthwhile purchase. Absolutely adorable and gives me something to do when I'm really bored. Extremely eager to see a new edition of tiny food come out from this company! I'd buy it in a heartbeat. (maybe with a cute little hamburger and fries or a sandwich?)

Adorable! Got this for my ten year old sister for her birthday and she’s having a blast with it! The instructions are easy to follow and she didn’t need any help. She made three items so far and it’s obvious how her skills have increased in just those 3!

My 7 year old daughter wanted her own “mini sewing kit” in spite of the fact that (or maybe because) I have a whole sewing room full of fabric, felt, embroidery floss, and huge quantities of stuffing - and I’d be thrilled to let her use some of it. I’m an advanced crafter/Sewist and I have made costumes, quilts, and some years ago little toys such as these without patterns. But my kid is very independent and likes working things out on her own, she doesn’t want to do these things with me telling her what to do. So I liked that this came with a well-written and well illustrated how-to book that really walked her through the steps and explained the basics. It also provides lots of inspiration as the projects are very cute. She was able to read the instructions and has learned to thread her own needle and do (and undo) a few basic stitches. She made the first project with some help and is inspired to make more, so I am optimistic that I will now have a little craft buddy. Embroidery is still hard, it takes a lot of practice to get even stitches, but I think these patterns could be fun up through the teens and they teach the basics of 3D fabric constructions. The little foods are very giftable as ornaments for family and friends. The materials are of good quality and this is a good self-contained starter kit. I did not find the needles to be dull as another reviewer stated. Overall I’m impressed with this kit.

Had so much fun making these cuties! Wish there was more!

I’ve been sewing for a very, very long time. My oldest daughter (almost 12) became extremely interested in learning how so I taught her some things previously and she’s taking home-ec in school. I purchased this as something to further her education and for something fun for us to do together. Especially since my 10 month old daughter takes up a lot of my attention. I wanted something special for just her and I to do during my little ones naps. It comes with absolutely everything you need and is so fantastic! The instruction book (which we only needed for photos to line up the felt pieces) is very informative with great photos. I already know how to sew everything together so I explained it to her myself and she did so wonderfully!! Our first two projects turned out great!! And we had such a blast. They’re adorable! Definitely a fabulous deal. However if you’re not already skilled or at least somewhat in sewing than it may be harder than they describe on the box. Not a complete beginner kit in my opinion. It does take some previous knowledge to complete the projects more easily. They are quite small as well so sewing something so small will be harder regardless. Especially since the instructions can make steps sound confusing when they’re actually not. So some previous skill is probably required. All in all a great deal though! My oldest daughter did the “toaster pastry” and I did the dippy egg. I showed a penny beside mine for size reference. We had so much fun and can’t wait to make the next couple!

I loved this kit! It teaches simple stitching which I already knew, but for beginners it is super helpful. I tried it with my 7 year old and if her hand wasn't in a cast, she'd be able to do it no problem! Some of the characters are a little small for my hands but I didn't have any problems putting them together. They are super cute!

I was a bit skeptical. You can buy these materials anywhere, and you could probably find patterns online. But for ~$12 I think this is totally worth it. Granted, I've only made the starter donut so far, but you can really tell that some thought and care went into putting this kit together. Instructions were easy to follow for the most part, but it would probably help to have some experience working with needle and thread (sewing, embroidery, etc). I like the quality of the thread and the felt. The needle is big and not too sharp, easy to use for a beginner. The patterns are sturdy. Everything comes nice and organized, and the book on its own is fun to flip through even if you don't actually make anything. So, could you just buy the thread, felt, and fillings in bulk (or at the dollar store) and print some patterns online? Sure. But for the cost, I think this is a really nice starter kit. Even when you run out of materials, you can still use the provided book and the patterns to make a million more plushies if you wanted. So you're not just paying for the convinience of having everything prepared for you, you actually get something that can be used again and again, by you or someone else. So you can keep on, not crying, but crafting! (jk, couldn't help it...) But yeah, highly recommend it. Might try out their other kits too. Edit: the more of these I make, the more I realize that the needles are just too frustrating to work with. They're easy to handle, but they're just way too blunt. Definitely recommend using your own regular sized sewing needle.
