Sewing Lessons

It is starting to feel like spring here in West Michigan! As much as I love summer and all the activities that summer time brings, I will miss the "slow pace" of winter! I realized I never showed you one of the winter activities that I did with my daughter and some of her friends  - sewing lessons.

As a young girl, my Mom taught me how to sew, and with her help and instruction from the 4-H leaders, I learned this valuable skill at a young age. However, I am finding fewer young people who know how to sew. So, after some persuading from my daughter, I decided to start teaching her some of these life skills. I also thought it would be easier, and motivating for me, if I taught a couple of girls at the same time.

Here they are working on their PJ bottoms:



Do you know how to sew? When and how did you learn?
