What a lovely start to 2012 for us, the weather here is perfect and we have about 3 weeks left of Summer holidays...
First Project for 2012 Complete…
Well the first project for 2012 is complete and sitting on DD2’s bed.
DD2 has asked me to teach her how to sew, she picked some fabric from the local fabric shop and chose to make a cushion.
I had purchased an old sewing machine last year for her so she could learn on something that might have a bit more resilience than my modern machines.
Top view of the pillow shows how it joins up nicely…
This is the side Ally did mostly on her own…
This is the side I helped teach Her how to cut, iron seams and sew everything straight.
She did a great job for her first attempt...She will have lots of practice as she has lined up a bunch of projects already...
I love that she wants to learn how to sew...
That is it for me for now, I must get back to the sewing room...
Happy stitching
Amanda
It is always so nice to pass on knowledge to our young ones. We need to keep our traditions alive.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job she did! It's fun when Mum's & daughters share a love of craft :D
