one project down...

Many, many more to go. The big kid has been asking about sewing for a few weeks now. I kept putting it off, waiting until we had the time to fill on weekends, while the wee one napped. This was a simple way, to teach her to stitch, where the imperfections added some character.

Basic heart shapes cut out of cheap craft store felt. These would be super special out of nice wool felt, but I have a lot of felt from my days of making hair clips.



Tiny uneven stitches...

This shot is blown but I don't have time to retake. The wee one is up from her nap and I'm being bellowed at by the big kid.
