If you use fleece the needle should go in okay. Generally, though, I would recommend to use a large regular needle because it will go through the fabric easier and it's a good start to learning sewing skills.<BR/><BR/>I haven't had any safety issues with my 4 year old, but I always sit down with her when she begins a new project to make sure she knows how to use her tools and to nip any unsafe habits in the bud right away.Charity Indietuteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517919253368724623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-52724196782257708752009-03-03T08:06:00.000-07:002009-03-03T08:06:00.000-07:00I'm wondering what size needles to use.

It went pretty well, though his attention span is as short as you'd expect a 2 year old's attention span to be! It was fun! I'll have to see if I can come up with some pictures after a while... though they're going to be gifts, so I may not.Ritsumeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283473059747130843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-20163395358509714062008-12-17T18:41:00.000-07:002008-12-17T18:41:00.000-07:00Your blog is very inspiring on many levels!Thanks!...Your blog is very inspiring on many levels!<BR/>Thanks!Heidi's Lofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17130631903879264140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-20248395220093810852008-12-17T09:10:00.000-07:002008-12-17T09:10:00.000-07:00It sounds like fun!

I would also be prepared to sit with him as long as he has the attention span for and you will most likely finish for him also. Other than that, I think it could be a good beginning to needlework project.<BR/>good luck!Charity Indietuteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517919253368724623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-64651151604247061772008-12-16T23:10:00.000-07:002008-12-16T23:10:00.000-07:00These are darling!

My Mum announced her last pre-Christmas visit today at 10om last night so I got slicing three different types of red fabric into 1" squares and made her a wreath to hang in her camper (they are spending the holidays in a van brrrr!) I hung it with a red and gold ribbon and sewed a green button on the base of the ribbon. A Very cool Very quick giftette and Mum loved it!
