Good little toy

We were lucky enough to be able to review the sewing machine . It’s tiny but works very well . Way too much packaging and when you have an impatient child this isn’t always a great thing. I will say she likes it a lot however she said it was a little small . She had a fun afternoon making napkins and fixing her doll clothes . She got dis interested though after a few days . I think this is a great toy for rainy days

Safe and Fun

This was super fun to do with my daughter! This is not an activity that my 10 year old was able to do on her own…it does require some parent help to set up and get them started. Once she started, it was really easy to use. I love the fact that the needle is “inside” so you can’t get poked with it. It came with a few cute projects…we completed the sunglass case and are working on the purse. I have only used the material provided for the projects,but I look forward to trying a variety of other materials to see if they work. Overall, a great little machine for a first time sewer with the help of an adult.

Fun machine for kids without sewing experience!

The Cool Maker Fashion Studio Activity Kit is fun for those who has no previous sewing experience. It's super easy to use and comes with a few great projects, and the instructions were clear enough for my 8 year old to figure out on her own. My 8 year old has previous sewing experience with a regular sewing machine, and it was actually problematic because the design of this machine (meaning to make it easy for kids to use) became confusing for her because it doesn't have regular sewing machine functionality. But for kids without previous experience, this kit is a great starter kit to see if they are actually interested in sewing.

Easy and fun to use

This was great for my girls! It was easy enough that I didn't need to help to much. The kits include everything needed to make super cute items. They loved it and it kept them busy for quite a long time. Mom win!

Great Idea But.....

My daughter was very excited that we were chosen to try out this Fashion studio Activity Kit! The idea is great, its a sewing machine with a needle but the needle is completely covered from all sides so little fingers don't get pricked. It functions like a regular sewing machine but it uses "Smart Stitch Sensors" , its supposed to sense the lines on the fabric and know when to automatically start sewing and when to stop sewing all by itself. All it has is a start button and the machine takes off by itself. I found that the machine wasn't very good at detecting the lines on the fabric and it just sewed willy nilly. You need to guide the fabric through without pushing or pulling by it definitely didn't stay in a straight line and readjusting was needed. I like that it came with the needle prethreded and that it came with all the fabric we needed to make a few different projects, as well as the template to cut out. We managed to make the sunglasses case (first project) without too many problems other than wonky lines, but the second project was a ponytail and that had some difficulties. For that project it required you to double up the fabric and sew through 4 layers. The machine was not having it. Everytime we tried to sew the ponytail ends together (last step), the machine/ needle kept getting jammed. I'd fix it, reposition the fabric and try and but it just kept jamming, we followed the instruction to a T , even tried to flatten the fabric to make it thinner. Nothing worked. After the 4th attempt, my daughter wasn't feeling it anymore, and I told her I would just finish the ponytail by hand (needle and thread). That's where we stopped with the machine and I'm not too sure if we will be trying it out again soon.

Fun little product

I recently had the opportunity to try this product for free in exchange for my honest review. My 11 year old son was the tester for this one. He really enjoyed it. He's been interested in sewing for a while. The instructions were a little confusing to begin. They could have been clearer. But once he figured out how to work it, it went smoothly. He liked the sensor start and stop. He enjoyed a couple of the projects. The patterns are fairly easy. If we can find the thread cartridges and more patterns in store, he would definitely continue using it.
My only complaint it that it is marketed specifically to girls. It would be great if the packaging could encourage boys to enjoy it. Mine did.

Neat idea!

We enjoyed using the Cool Maker Stitch N Style sewing machine. Everything you need is included in the box. I like that there is a secret compartment in the side of the machine that you can store the accessories in.

Using the sewing machine was a bit of a learning curve. The instructions were quite detailed, but even so we had a few difficulties along the way. We found the automatic feeder to move very quickly so it was a challenge to get a straight stitch line. A couple of times the stitches did not come at all even though the needle was threaded.
The instructions printed directly on the fabric were helpful.

My daughter is 9, but has no experience with a sewing machine. The Cool Maker Stitch N Style is suitable for older children, or likely those who have had previous experience.
It is a great idea - an all in one item.

Although our end results did not turn out overly great, it was fun to get to make our own items.
Thank you.

Cute little sewing machine

The packaging was nice. The little sewing machine is the cutest thing ever!. My granddaughter is 9 and she struggled with knowing how to use it . I helped her with the instructions and she finally got it. She made a cute little scrunchie with it !
The fabric that came with it is adorable .
She's going to try the headband next

My 9 year old granddaughter used it. Her first project was the scrunchie. With some help from me, she was able to make it and had fun doing it.
