Embroidery

Embroidery is one of the first hand skills which should be taught to little girls. In fact, for hundreds of years, embroidery and hand sewing was a normal part of every girl’s education.

Embroidery teaches excellent eye-hand coordination and gives training in the importance of detail work, doing each little stitch neatly, and, of course, displays perseverance to finish a project. Children can read and study about character, but actually doing and completing projects well develops character in them.

Also, teaching your girls how to do hand sewing will help them to enjoy the feminine arts of needlework.
