"We Had SEW much Fun!"

We are hitting our third week of winter break and the kids are getting a little stir crazy! R.J. had a play date, so that left the girls and I to fend for ourselves. We decided to have a little "Mother-Daughter" time and do some sewing. I told you I am not the best seamstress but, my mom did teach me to sew a straight line. I thought it was about time to teach the girls to do the same thing. Maybe being this young they will be able to learn more than I did and actually sew more than just P.J. bottoms (I will keep my fingers crossed). So, today we attempted to SEW without patterns! We learned from trial and error and our creations turned out pretty good for beginners! Madison made a tiny tote for her cell phone and Payton made a scripture bag. I am really proud of the girls. They wanted to do everything themselves and they pretty much did! I just pushed the pedal for Payton because she was too tiny to reach it. Our next project-Purses! Baby steps, we will learn together. Maybe I will become a great seamstress yet! I hope my daughters learn to love sewing, I think it's a lost art!
