Kid Craft - Tea Pot Cozy and Placemat

Kid Craft - Tea Pot Cozy and Placemat
This is a fairly easy project to do that we did with kids ages 8 - 12.

Quilting the piece is optional and we found the girls had the most difficulty with marking the quilting guides and keeping them in line with each other.

The quilting part itself was accomplished by 10 and 12 year olds with pretty decent results. The younger girls opted not to do the quilting.

This project involves all straight and top stitching and the use of bias tape while working with layers which presented a bit of a challenge but all the girls were able to successfully finish their projects in a fair amount of time.
