Please excuse the overabundance of photos today but we've been busy beavers here! Phil cleaned up my old sewing machine, so Aaron and Hannah got to try it out today. They both took to it like naturals. I can't remember how my mum introduced me to the sewing machine. I know that in highschool the first thing we had to do was stitch along some lines - straight, curvy, and crooked - so we started with that.
This old machine was given to be when I was 12, by a lady in our church. I was in my element, and it has served well ever since. I still used it to sew clothes for myself when I was a uni student, and it also gets pulled out and used during power failures. And now I'm very happy to see it enter a new phase in its life.
(Although I'd rather Daniel stayed out of the life and times of my sewing machine for now...)
From sewing lines, the kids quickly moved on to
sewing monsters. (I'll share them soon). Caleb wanted to make one too, of course, so we whipped up Toby from
Make a Monster by Fiona Goble.
He could stuff it himself, and he's pretty chuffed with the outcome.
Tomorrow I'll show you the exciting stuff we did together yesterday!
(hmmm, that's a rather awkward sentence, but oh, well...)
