Seamstresses in the Making
Every Thursday a couple of moms and our daughters have been meeting next door while a woman from our church teaches us to sew. I already know how to sew, but I've learned all sorts of neat little finishing touches from her. She is a wonderful seamstress and taught 4H in our town for 30 years.
The girls just finished making drawstring aprons. Here they are modeling with their teacher.
They did a great job and were so proud. They were so cute yesterday, bouncing around outside with them on. :-)
Great job girls! Aprons make lovely gifts too!

I've been thinking of teaching my neighbor's grand daughter how to sew, and a draw-string apron is a great idea for a first project!
ReplyDeleteShe is 9, but mature for her age. I sometimes watch her, and she has free run of all my fabric scraps. She's always 'creating,' and I think she is ready to make something 'real.' I've been iffy because of the sewing machine's speed and sharp needle, but I think I will let her practice on some pieces of paper with lines drawn to get the 'feel' of the machine. It could be fun!
This is great- I teach a sewing class of girls like this, and we made aprons last autumn - this summer we made pjs! So lovely to apss on the skills to the next generations
