Christmas Already?!

With holiday outfits popping up all over eBay and the Internet, it got me thinking about how little time I have left to save money for gift giving.
Like any Mom, kids are tops on the list.

Here are a couple items I have found for your budding crafter:

AmericanGirl has scissors in hand (so to speak)
with Chrissa's Craft Studio

If your budding seamstress is ready for the Real Thing
Amazon has tons of "Kid" oriented sewing machines and supplies

Don't forget to read those very helpful customer reviews!
Whether I buy from amazon or not, I always check their reviews.

One tip of mine on purchasing a beginner sewing machine for a child would be to consider a regular basic model instead of one geared for a child.
This of course depends on your child's age and skill level but I think parents of children over the age of 7 will appreciate the capabilities of a real machine and it's ease of use for both of you.
