"Oh say can you sew?"

LiLi spent the day at our house on Veteran's day. We had a long list of "things to do"

First up was sewing. I showed her some ideas & she wanted to make a bag. She went "shopping" in my stash of fat quarters & ribbons & picked out her supplies. I just folded the materials different ways so she could visualize how it would look & let her decide how to make it.

Yes I let her use "real" scissors

Don't you love the concentration!

After trying different ways for the handles she cut the ribbon.

I showed her how to fold down the top edge & iron it in place...No Mark I did not let her use the iron!

I didn't take pics of the actual sewing because she was sitting in my lap....that part is a little tricky....she's not tall enough to sit on the chair & reach the foot control so we have to get creative!
