Klutz Sew Your Own Unicorn Cake Pillow

I will give this 5 stars but a warning with a story. You bought this for your 7 year old niece (also to torment her father who would have to make it for her) . Her parents bring her to your holiday open house and you present her with her gift. She decides you MUST create her pillow immediately. You are not sober. You are trying to host a party. But you cannot say "No" to your precious baby niece. Mom and Dad say No. You're the cool Auntie. Your plan to torment Dad backfired. I don't have photos of the horror I created. But she absolutely loved it.

My niece really enjoyed making this and it turned out so cute! She loves it!

This is a kit for children who want to learn to sew. Note: sewing is required. Because. Its a sewing kit. I'm not sure why this needs to be stated here, but some parents seems shocked that a kit that says "sew your own" actually requires kids to sew. Ahem. Yes, this requires that children use needles. Yes, if your intention is to toss this kit at your under 8 year old child, you are going to be disappointed. They MIGHT actually need help figuring out how to use the needle properly. However, look, there are very clear and easy to understand instructions that show a child how to use a needle and thread, so you might also find your child does quite well without assistance. I liked this kit. Klutz can be very hit or miss. Some kits are well designed, fun, and interesting. Others should be tossed on a burning pyre because that would result in more "fun" than actually trying to do the crappy craft This one falls in the "awesome fun" category, and is a simple project that really is enticing to complete if you are trying to show your child how to do basic sewing stitches. The result is adorable, and there is plenty of flexibility with the designs to please both your total newbie, and the more advanced beginner.

I love this little pillow crafting set. It is very easy and basic, great for introducing a newbie to sewing. The instructions teach a variety of stitches and the illustrations are easy to follow. Naturally, a kit like this is best with the help of an experienced sewer to help answer any questions, but the kit is easy enough to follow on its own. I did wind up using a bit of extra stuffing that I had on hand (I frequently make stuffed animals as a creative outlet and usually have huge boxes of stuffing), but the amount of stuffing provided with the kit is adequate. I like a firmer stuff. This would be a good kit for a kid over 9 or 10 years old that can follow written instructions and diagrams. 5 stars

Kinda small, I wish is had more stuffing too
