Washcloth Crafts, Boys Need to Learn to Sew Too

TerryGami, 15 Cloth Toy and Ornament Projects for Crafters, Teachers, and Children
The book is now available in soft cover!!
The Book is available at:


Teaching boys the basics of sewing will serve them well throughout their lives.  At some point, they will need to know how to repair a hem on a pair of pants or how to sew on a button on a shirt.  TerryGami is a great way to start because all kids love stuffed animals.  Just imagine being able to create your own!  TerryGami also teaches them how to make a toy in a pinch with a washcloth and a piece of string, which might come in handy someday when they need to entertain a crying child.

I was worried that kids would not want to be bothered with stuffing the critters, but the opposite was true.  They loved it!  I was surprised to see just how fat the TerryGami Snowman could get, which is okay, because then more stitching is involved, and it is good practice.

If boys can learn to cook, why can't they learn to sew?  TerryGami may help some earn a sewing or entrepreneur merit badge for Boy Scouts or Cub Scouts, too.

Happy Crafting!
