Thanks, Julia, I’m so glad that you found this article useful. Handwork is becoming a lost art, so I like to provide easy options for parents and teachers.

Thank you, Kasia for the very useful information! Knowing that burlap is called Hessian will make it much easier to find. I love using it to help children learn how to sew.

So when asking for it in shops you might have more success in some places using that alternative name. We use “Hessian” in New Zealand and Australia. Hessian is used for fadges when making bales of wool. So another source of hessian could be a yarn factory where they spin wool.

It’s free-form and free of adult rules. Let them create and have fun! thank you

You’re welcome! I’ve seen people also use shelf liners and placemats that have holes in them. Give one of those a try if you can’t find any burlap. 🙂

We don’t have burlap around here but I’m sure I could find something similar to improvise! Thanks for the tips. 🙂
