Oh man, am I a proud mama today? Yesindeedy.
A has been eager to learn how to sew…forever. I don’t really know what has taken me so long to teach him. I bought him a new-in-the-box Singer 8280 for $22 at a garage sale last summer, but it just never seemed like the ‘right’ time. I guess that I just didn’t know whether he would have the patience. But he does. Here is his first sewing project
We had such a fun, crafty day. You can see our other project in the pic too. We actually all three stuck a million stamps onto an old beat-up table in the morning (while poor DH was slaving away getting all the wiring done in our garage-to-studio conversion), then the afternoon was a picking-fabric,/learn-to-use-the-sewing-machine marathon. It’s tough to know if I love the look of pride on A’s face more than I love the secret he kept until he finished the pillow. ‘It’s for my brother’, he says! ‘He loves dinosaurs, so I made it for him.’ Begin heart melting. These boys…
Just the best…and so wonderful that he was making it to give to his brother!
So wonderful…and the greatest part was the end, where he told you he was making it for his brother…just the best!
I love it! And what a sweet boy you’ve got! Here’s to many more crafting sessions with your little guys.
Love seeing kids behind the sewing machine ~ that’s really what it is all about; passing on a passion and having a great time.
A you’ve done a wonderful job, and what a generous gift for your little brother.
Awesome! Love that he wanted to learn – his wife will thank you for this someday! But what I really want to know…who had to lick all those stamps?!? LOL!
