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!
Here she is turning it right side out (please ignore my messy sewing room)
The finished product....we actually made two of them. One for her best friend Gabby.
