The Mary Frances Sewing Book
The story of a little girl who wanted to sew.... but more than a story! It tells, in story form, how Mary Frances learns to sew from the sewing tools in her grandmother's sewing room who talk to her.

Wooden Sewing Needles
Exclusively ours! It's so nice to finish up your knitted and crocheted projects with these special wooden needles. A natural version of a metal or plastic yarn needle. You'll find they are a wonderful alternative for children as they provide great sensory feedback and the blunt tip alleviates any worry of getting pricked. Children can use one for sewing on burlap or through old sweaters or thread one with yarn and punch holes into our wool felt. Great ways to practice sewing skills. Soft, sturdy and easy to use this hand-made tool is a pleasure to work with and truly one-of-a-kind. Age 7 and up.

Handpainted Wooden Needle Cases
Ours alone, this wooden cylinder with a cap is just the thing to keep all your sewing needles safe. Hand painted by a local artisan. Functional and aesthetic to complement your sewing basket. A lovely idea if you are putting together a basket for the beginning sewer in your house. The large case will hold one of our 2.75" or 3.25" wooden needles. Ages 7 and up.
