4-H projects

Here Chick #1 is finishing up one of her sewing projects for 4-H. She still has two more that she wants to finish before next Thursday so we will see how much gets done tomorrow. I wanted to get a few good pictures of her sewing while she is 9 because before I know it she will be taller then me. As you can see my sewing area is small and just takes up a little bit of room in my bedroom.
I also have a very simple sewing machine 2 stitches. One 4-H girl in our group laughed at it. You know, that is just fine because I have made some really cute things with this little machine. Even this cute little flower girl dress two years ago. This was when little chick #3 was only three years old and was the flower girl for one of my close friends wedding.




Here are Chick #1 hands while she is sewing on her strap to her tote bag. Already her hands are about as big as mine.

A wonderful skill to learn. I wish I had more training in this area when I was younger.

I am a self taught sewer because I did not have time to sew when I was younger. Thank goodness I have a good friend who is willing to help my dd learn the proper way to sew things. I hope to learn a few things too.

Glad to know there's someone else out there who likes to sew amongst all the Lutheran knitters! I'm a self-taught sewer too.

I am working hard at teaching myself to sew. This summer I'm doing some easy things like aprons and a few cotton undergarments. But I really want to be able to sew clothes for myself and my unfashionable curves.

I've been out of town - I think it is AWESOME that your daughter is sewing - and at NINE! Keep up the good work.
