Sewing Lessons

C loves the snippets of Project Runway that she sometimes sees when she comes downstairs after bedtime. (PR is one of my dirty little secrets. I am not fashionable, and I hate reality shows (except for Extreme Home Makeover) but there is something about PR that is oddly addictive. IMHO, they got cheated on the Emmy!) She has expressed interest in fashion design. This fits for her - she loves to draw and create things - and she's m'fashion girl! But, if you want to do that, as is SO apparent on the show, you need to be able to sew!

Our first lessons have begun. We made a little tote bag this weekend. I need to snap another pic of her with the finishe product, then I'll come back and post the photos! She cut and sewed, and I translated the directions and pinned the fabric for her. She even learned how to wind a bobbin and thread the machine. She drools over the embroidery machine, but she's not touching that for a long time!
