Today the point was to introduce them to the machine and let them try the pedal. Then, they got to practice sewing straight lines on a piece of paper and even learned to backstitch at the beginning and end of every seam.

Summer School!
Summer school has begun around here, and so far we are having fun! Today was the kids' first sewing lesson, and they were thrilled! They already have great designs on sewing elaborate doll costumes by the end of the summer. I think we'll at least get the pillowcases, tote bags, book covers, doll quilts, laundry bags and pot holders made!

I'm having fun sewing this summer too! I started making headbands for Lily. Here's a link to the one I made. http://www.kcquilts.com/blog/2006/09/reversible-fabric-headband-tutorial.html
ReplyDeleteAnd here's a link to one that I came across that would probably be easier for the girls to make. http://ihavetosay.typepad.com/meandmygirl/2007/11/headband.html
