Several years ago, I began showing my oldest daughter how to sew. I am by no means a
seamstress or anything near that, but I really enjoy making things. I especially enjoy making
dresses for my daughters.
I tend to take sewing in spurts though. I'll sew for a while and then put it down for a while. I
haven't sewed much lately. Seems school and sports have taken a great deal of our time.
Now that we've completed our school year, I'm planning to set a time each week to work on some
sewing projects.
Last week, I asked her (9 year old daughter) to make a list of 5 things she'd like to make or
complete projects that we've already started. (Yes, we have began things and never finished
them.)
She was very eager to look at her patterns and sewing book she received for Christmas
and make her list.
Today we began working on a doll shirt that we started a few months ago using this pattern:
We worked on sewing the facing to the shirt front and back. I think it looks pretty cute myself.
And she loves it and that makes it worth all the time in the world!
