Absolutely wonderful!! The instructions are easy to follow and the materials are great.
Pros:
- Super cute!
- Easy to make; just cutting and sewing. The book tells you how to do the stitches needed for the projects, and if you're anything like me you'll get the hang of it quickly.
- Clear instructions; even when I was a bit delirious from the heat I was able to sew a little piece of toast properly.
- Gives you something fun to do when you're bored.
- Quality materials; no cheapness here.
Issues:
- I wish there were more sheets of several colours of felt; trying to make a green apple proved not possible because of just how much felt is needed for other projects.
- I think there should be an extra sheet of eyes and cheek blushes; with how many extras I made of some items there just wasn't enough cute lil blushes to go around!
- The needles need to be significantly sharper. Even my sharp needles had a little bit of trouble going through the felt occasionally, and when that happened I knew that the needles that were given to me in this package wouldn't have a chance of piercing the felt. If you buy this, I recommend that you have your own needles handy.
- There should be reminders on pages with patterns that need to be flipped to flip them. I've, more than once, accidentally traced a pattern twice the same way that needed to be flipped, because I was just so focused and eager to sew. Not a huge issue, but it'd be very helpful.
Aside from all that, if I were able to say anything to Klutz, it'd be "make another edition of this!" I absolutely love making tiny little foods and the instructions in this were so clear, and I also love their method of making the patterns as a cardboard piece instead of just paper like I've seen many other patterns. It ensures that the patterns last and I'm sure that even after I create everything in this kit I'll still be making more little foods using these patterns (I'm even planning to buy more felt specifically to make more!). I did buy this for myself, so I'm not entirely sure how a child would fare with this, but I'd probably recommend them to be at least eight years old or so, and to definitely have some supervision.
All in all a worthwhile purchase. Absolutely adorable and gives me something to do when I'm really bored. Extremely eager to see a new edition of tiny food come out from this company! I'd buy it in a heartbeat. (maybe with a cute little hamburger and fries or a sandwich?)

SO cute! Hours of creative fun time!
I absolutely adore these!! My 9 year old has been having so much fun creating these cute little stuffies. The instructions as written pretty clearly so she doesn’t need much help from me. All materials are provided including patterns. They are a little on the small side (as shown in picture with a marker for reference), but still such a great activity!

The instruction book (which we only needed for photos to line up the felt pieces) is very informative with great photos.
I already know how to sew everything together so I explained it to her myself and she did so wonderfully!! Our first two projects turned out great!! And we had such a blast. They’re adorable! Definitely a fabulous deal.
However if you’re not already skilled or at least somewhat in sewing than it may be harder than they describe on the box. Not a complete beginner kit in my opinion.
It does take some previous knowledge to complete the projects more easily.
They are quite small as well so sewing something so small will be harder regardless. Especially since the instructions can make steps sound confusing when they’re actually not. So some previous skill is probably required.
All in all a great deal though!
My oldest daughter did the “toaster pastry” and I did the dippy egg. I showed a penny beside mine for size reference. We had so much fun and can’t wait to make the next couple!
Great buy and so fun but not for beginners as advertised

I’ve been sewing for a very, very long time. My oldest daughter (almost 12) became extremely interested in learning how so I taught her some things previously and she’s taking home-ec in school. I purchased this as something to further her education and for something fun for us to do together. Especially since my 10 month old daughter takes up a lot of my attention. I wanted something special for just her and I to do during my little ones naps. It comes with absolutely everything you need and is so fantastic!Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2022
