Moulin Roty Classics - Sewing Kit

A proper sewing kit in a suitcase, with real knitting needles and yarn, real needles and thread, a tape measure, a thimble, small buttons, scissors and an instruction manual, because Moulin Roty understand that children who want to sew want to actually sew, not mime it with plastic versions of the real thing. The kind of gift that opens up a whole new skill, quietly and at their own pace, on a rainy afternoon with nothing else planned. And if they end up better at sewing than you are, which is entirely possible, we think that is something to be proud of.

We love it because:

• Real tools throughout: knitting needles, yarn, needles, thread, thimble, buttons, scissors and a tape measure, all the actual things
• An instruction manual included so there is somewhere to start and something to work towards independently
• Everything lives in the suitcase, so it packs away neatly and is easy to bring out again next time without anything going missing
• Learning to sew is a genuinely useful life skill that children who discover it tend to love for a very long time
• The kind of gift that grows with them: a beginner can start with simple stitches and keep finding new things to try for years
• Beautifully made and presented in Moulin Roty's classic style, it looks as lovely as it is practical
