I thought I'd write a little about some of the sewing going on here lately. For Sewing Hour Elisabethe and Abigail are learning their stitches beginning with the running stitch. I start the smallest beginners, they are 4 and 6, by stitching on plastic canvas using yarn and blunt tip needles. They are greatly proud of their newly learned skills, I don't have to pressure or force them at all. I think it's so sweet that they want to be like their Mama and Katie! Tabitha is still working on her tea towels, Rebekah is knitting with the loom and Katie is finishing up the trim on her new grey bodice. I have been working on a corded sunbonnet. It will have 4 sets of 6 cords each with quilting between the sets and is mostly handsewn.
I'm loving the color of the sunbonnet!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun coloring book..would love to be entered :-)
ReplyDeleteI love that my girls like to sew..now I think my little man wants to as well. Do your boys sew...I can't remember if you have older boys?
I like your bonnet too :-)
Lots of love,
Sommer
Chandra, me too! It's a lovely aqua lawn that I got from fabric.com
ReplyDeleteSommer, I have 3 older boys: 19, 13 & 13 and they only sew toys as gifts for their sisters.
How beautiful. The girls look so enthralled with the sewing. Please add me to the drawing.
