Editor’s Note: Romper Room released Sew Easy in 1980. The toy was marketed as “the sewing machine made especially for the very young.” Sew Easy came complete with a manually-operated sewing machine and accessories such as yarn, buttons, templates, and embellishments so children could create their own craft projects with minimal adult supervision.
