Sewing lessons








When I was about the girls age my sister, and I think even my older brother, took sewing lessons.  Kind of like one would take piano lessons but we learned how to sew.  Well I am not a seamstress by any stretch of the imagination, but I know basic stuff.  I mostly make simple quilt tops and the princess', especially princess E has been bugging me for months to let her help me sew.  So on Sunday after King J asked me how to teach him to make button holes (wish I got a picture of that)  The girls talked me into a sewing lesson.  I decided an easy place to start was a scrunchy.  They of course had no idea what I was talking about.  But once I grabbed one that was in the way back of the bathroom drawer they knew what I was talking about and were excited.  They did a fantastic job and and were quick learners.  Still kinda short to reach the pedals.  But it was fun.  Princess E now wants her own sewing machine.  Hmmm, we shall see.
