The girls came to visit. And we did a little sewing.
Scarlett finished her bag.
Pay no attention to that messy house!
Scarlett was very pleased with the work she did. I had her do all the cutting (her hand over mine), all the ironing (I taught her to hold the iron by herself - press and set it back down) and all the sewing (her on my lap - guiding the fabric -me controlling the foot pedal).
This was a great first project. Quick enough that she didn't lose interest.
She's been using it for her books.
And Violet finished up her purse too.
I did the same with Violet - she did all the work just like Scarlett (with my assistance).
Violet has more patience for sewing and her purse took more time - which work out so nicely for her. She was begging me to let her sew Scarlett's purse up too.
I really can't wait for the next project.
Happy Stitching,
Linda

Awww, so sweet. These are moments they will remember. :) Happy sewing!
ReplyDeleteThey turned out so great! I love it! So glad you got to sew together with them!
ReplyDeleteMessy house? Please! That's my house on a good day!
How darling, little seamstresses in the making. My granddaughter tried sewing a few years ago , made several pillowcases and a small baby quilt and decided that was enough. Keep them sewing if you can. Beware of a seamstress with a neat room, messy is the true sign of creativity.
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky! My dgd has about a 3-minute attention span, so we don't get to do crafty or stitchy together. Great projects - what's next?
ReplyDeleteAah, precious moments, snd wondeful memories to treasure. Time together is the best gift you can ever give them ... they are two lucky girls!
ReplyDeleteI just love to see the young ones learing to sew and both Scarlett and Violet did fabulous jobs on the bags...
