Ashlyn has been getting right to work with the new machine Santa brought her. I’m a little jealous that I don’t have it in me to join her this week. How fun would that be, dual machines humming away. I can’t begin to tell you how fun it is to teach an 8 year old to sew. I can give her instructions and sit back and watch her actually follow through. She’s a natural! I’m not just saying that either.
She quilted a cozy new doll quilt for Kennedy. 18 squares front and back and she did it all by herself. For her first time touching a machine she did a phenomenal job. I’m so proud of her!
Tonight I’m so glad to be spending my New Years Eve watching movies with the munchkins, eating soft pretzels, and listening to little Mr. Mister coo and smile into the wee hours. Here’s to catching the last days of sleeping in before school starts again.
Have a fun and safe New Years!
WoW :) She did a great job!! LoL...How did she get her corners to match up so perfectly? Do you think you could teach this 26 year old!?
ReplyDeletemy daughter got the same machine from her grandma - - I was so excited for her!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I'm very impressed by her skills. What a talented girl!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how well her corners match up either! I could definitely used her a few weeks ago when I was making patchwork skirts! GREAT job!!
ReplyDeleteHow about lessons for a 40 yr old?? My corners don't ever match up that good. She is definitely a natural :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun. I wonder if getting my daughter her own machine would encourage her more with her sewing. I have been hesitant though to add one more thing to my house.
ReplyDeleteMy 8 year old loves sewing, too. BUT - she doesn't like instructions and only likes the inventing part!
ReplyDeleteshe's brilliant! i'm very impressed.
ReplyDeleteLOOK at those great straight lines!! She did a FANTASTIC job!! I'm jealous!! :o)
