Floor cloth
An unbleached floor cloth (sewing cloth) from 65% cotton/15% viscose/20% polyester – may be decorated with yarn which is sewn through the stitches. It should not be washed..
This floor cloth for sewing has (if you do not wash it) a weave with raised loops/stitches which are easy for young children to push a cross stitch needle threaded with yarn through. Start in the top right corner of the cloth. Double the yarn over once threaded onto the cross stitch needle and tie a knot at the end, for example, around the first loop. This prevents the child from pulling the yarn off the needle. Now you can push the threaded needle through the loops horizontally back and forth, forming a striped pattern. We recommend choosing smooth cotton yarn as it is easier for the child to work with. Another variant: Thread, for example, a bead (with a large hole) onto the yarn between the loops as an extra effect for the more experienced child..
Sewing on a floor cloth/sewing cloth is a classic activity in many kindergartens and pre-schools for children aged 4-5 years, but can also be a fun activity at home for the little ones. This small sewing project, which can be worked on over a longer period of time, stimulates the child's ability to concentrate, their fine motor skills, their focus and perseverance. The finished needlework can be refined by an adult sewing on a back piece of cotton canvas so that the cloth can be turned into a cushion with filling.
