Anyone looking to learn how to sew are now in luck thanks to a new fashion startup called SewSquad. The brand launched easy-to-follow sewing kits that are perfect for children -- with adult supervision -- or adults that have a desire to create their own clothes.
So far SewSquad has four patterns available to purchase including the 'Skater Skirt,' the 'T-Shirt Dress,' the 'Classic Tee,' and the 'Zip Skirt Pattern.' The DIY sewing kits include the pattern, an instruction package, a measuring tape, styling ideas, and even a "leftover look" for the excess fabric. To start using the kits, sewers only need fabric, a needle and thread, and scissors.
The SewSquad sewing kits are a great way for parents and children to bond together or for eager fashionistas looking to create their own masterpieces.
