I had my granddaughters over to teach them how to sew. We had a blast. First they each received their very own grown up sewing kit. I feel it is important to have the real tools so they are not frustrated with toy types that do not do as good as job. Nothing is more frustrating than cutting with inferior scissors. So we started with good tools.
Next they learned to mark and cut their fabric
Now they were ready to start sewing a skirt.
And then they learned how to serge.
And of course they have to learn how to iron.
They finished by adding some fun Trim they had each chosen and then it was time for Lunch.
A little more sewing and we were finished. But before we had our fashion photo shoot, we had a little Tea Party. Dolly didn't make it to the party, but the three of us had a wonderful time.
While the girls were getting the invitations ready for the tea party, Grandma (that's me), used my embroidery machine to sew on matching appliques on a white T-shirt so they would have a complete outfit. Of course we had to go to the dollar store to complete the ensemble with flip flops with flower clips, hats, bags, and sunglasses. Now we can have the Fashion Shoot!
What a Fun Day! now Grandma needs a big long Nap.
