Sewing

Well, we did it! Turns out it was far easier than I was imagining and she appears to have a knack for sewing!

I used masking taped to hold the pieces of fabric together, eliminating the need for pins AND giving a guide for the pressure foot.

For this first project, I wanted an easy, quick success. I remember when I learned, it was SO boring learning the proper pinning, cutting, blah, blah, blah. I just wanted to make something. Our next project can be one where she does more of the prep work.

The Bee Ballad

Oh, there once was an unlucky bee.
And don't forget the curious she.
His stinger removed, after a quick and painless death,
So the inquisitive she could explore and see his breadth.

OK, so I'm not a poet, and I admit I am a blogging slacker. But gracious, we have been busy!
