My third Tips from Teachers Sewing with Kids interview is with Amy Lindahl. She is a 3rd grade classroom teacher in Hayward, California. This was Amy's first time sewing with her students.

I did it thank you!!
Isnt that wasting a lot of thread?
Your video was the only video that showed exactly how to knot the thread. Other people go way too fast or have their fingers in the way. Thank you!
I tried several tutorial but this is the only one that worked for me! Thank you!
YAY!!! That is amazing!!!!!
So cute! Thank you Trixi! ❤❤
Thanks Cyndy! Let me know if there are any other tutorials you'd be interested in!
This is great! Thank you! ❤❤❤
Thank you !! 😩😩😭
Thank god
so good!
Yeah I’ll just buy new jeans
Those big, blunt yarn needles can be good for very young kids to practice with, if you give them burlap or some other loosely woven fabric to try. You can set it into an embroidery hoop and thread the needle with colorful yarn so they can just play with it and get used to stab stitches. Probably they'll make a big scribbley type mess, but that's what little kids' art always looks like at first! Yarn is just a different medium. I think it would make a charming sampler to hang up alongside their later work to show how their skill and dexterity can improve over time.
Yes! Absolutely! Those blunt needles are perfect for burlap but not felt!

Great advice. Thank you.
Thanks for letting me know!!
Oh my gosh Ty I watched this a few times and I got it!
Amazing!!! It took me a few times to get it right too!!!
Thank you for this! I started a sewing club with my students and was really struggling to find a way they could understand, as the "rolling" method was too difficult for them. This is perfect!
That's great!!! The rolling method actually is too difficult for me...I can't seem to ever get it!!!!!! Also, I love that you've started a sewing club with your students!!! Any chance you'd like to join the Global Kids Sewing Party in March??
Thank you. This video is so helpful!
That's such a fun and easy way to put on a button, and your way of securing the ends is ingenious! You've got a new subscriber here.😊

I made Zenki's with my grandchildren this week and they LOVED it! In fact I think I created my own little sewing monsters. They will want to make more every visit! The grandkids are ages are 5, 8,9 and 10; 3 boys and 1 girl. They all loved it and I loved it too! Thank you for the inspiration and I will be following your future ideas!!
Oh my goodness! Thank you for your amazing comment! I am so glad you created your own little sewing monsters :)) How good is that!! You can find plenty more sewing projects over on my Sew a Softie website...enough to keep your monsters busy sewing for a long time!!!!!
Welches Material ist das?

This was so cute. What age would this be appropriate for?
You could do it with 8 year olds and up. Also if you're teaching a beginner you can just cut the front pieces as one shape so they don't need to over stitch the two front pieces of the body together. That will just make it quicker to finish!
