Clara wants to learn to sew. So I got out my scraps and we set to work. For the first time, with a bit of help from me, she did VERY well. We tried hand sewing first, but it was just a little hard and she was persistent about making a blanket for her little green bear. Out came the machine. Other then cutting the threads and pushing the foot pedal , Clara made this. She is right in the middle of saying "look Nana!"
It was a wonderful way to spend a little one on one time with my oldest girl, who by the way is growing up TO fast!

Totally cute! To teach hand sewing, get some fleece, a large needle and some heavy thread. The little ones I watch can do pretty good with that because it's not so detailed. You don't get such cute stuff, but it works well to sew a dress or something for a stuffed animal.
ReplyDeleteGood Job Miss Clara! You are getting so big!
Nana finally got to a computer....I love your blanket! Did little green bear like it? Did it keep her warm? What are you going to make next?
ReplyDeleteI am going to work on a quilt, too. I have a couple to finish. Clara you are inspiring me to get busy!
