Sofia's beginner sewing machine has been in a closet since we moved in....Cozy's closet. She noticed it and wanted it. I just kept telling her, "Sorry, it's Sofia's." ....trying to put off sewing with a 3-year-old. Finally, Cozette asked for the cute little machine in front of Sofia, who was happy to pass it on. Dang.
Now my 3 littles are learning to do a bit of sewing (with varying degrees of enthusiasm).
Cozette is thrilled.
She was working the pedal and lifting and lowering the foot, while I helped guide the fabric.
She was so proud.
(Isn't it fun seeing a tiny person concentrate on a task? I don't know why. It just is.)
...jumping for joy...
...and giving the beloved pillow a squeeze.
The pillow James made:
Cute little toothless guy. James loves working the sewing machine - anything mechanical.
Jonny (my only kid who got to use the iron during our sewing lessons) pretending to sleep on his creation.
That was fun. I think we're going to make tote bags next. ....and Jonny would probably appreciate it if I bought World of Geekcraft.
Oh my goodness how adorable are those kids and pillows! What a fabulous idea. My older 3 sew, and the next 3 down are asking, but I keep telling them they're too young. Maybe I should let them give it a try. We just might copy your cute patchwork pillows!
