A New Hobby June 13
Summer is here. My kids have been home from school for two weeks, and you guessed it. They are already “bored”. So, we decided it was time to learn a new hobby - sewing. My oldest had learned some basics of sewing by machine last summer and had made a couple of pillows and such. This year we decided to advance to simple clothing. So, she made herself some pajama shorts using a simple pattern. After that was a success, she decided to venture into doll clothes. Her younger sister is too young to sew with the machine, but she has been helping the process along by pinning, cutting, and deciding which doll will get to wear the new dress.
My living room is now covered in material, patterns, dolls, and threads. But the kids are no longer bored, and they are learning a life skill.
