Crafting Fun for All Ages:

Sewing skill level:
This is a beginner/intermediate hand sewing pattern. The pattern is perfect for beginner adult sewers or experienced children. I always recommend a parent nearby for any children learning with these projects. Small children should be supervised with sewing tools such as sharp needles, and small pieces such as doll eyes, buttons, and very small pieces of felt.
This is also a beginners’ level introduction to simple embroidery on small toys.
Sewing time:
As a beginner, 2-3 hours to hand sew a alpaca. This is approximate, as the time it take to complete a project can vary depending on skill.
