Teaching Little Ones to Sew...



Yes, once again I'm teaching some little ones to sew. Today it was three youngsters with a simple little bag project.


Each child chose a fat quarter of their choice and we used that and a silk cord (or yarn, whichever the child chose) as the drawstring.




The youngest child was/is six years old. He chose a vibrant print of dragons. He had a little trouble with the button hole stitch. But he did a great job.


They all did everything themselves with the exception of using the rotary cutter. Sorry, some things just should not be in the hands of a six year old, no matter how enthusiastic they are. In fact, the more enthusiastic, the more adamant I am about not letting them use the rotary cutter.





I think they did a fabulous job, don't you?
Cheers,



Dionne
