Sewing 101

Since I announced to the blogging world that Joy had her first sewing lesson last week, I figured I would follow up with how it went (with her permission of course).

I would call it a success because even though the end result can’t be worn by anyone, we both learned to thread our machine and how to basically operate it and how to (sort of) sew a straight line.

We have both been practicing. The problem with the pants that Joy attempted, that were supposed to be for my niece, was in the cutting out of the pattern. So let’s just say that we both learned a little there. And yes, I’ll admit that I laughed at my daughter. But only because it is so like something what I would have done. And then there was also the time she was sewing the pant leg to the behind of the pants. We all had a laugh on that one.  :)

But.....let me just say that she is very good natured and laughed with us!  :)

Ms. Karen is coming out again next week for another sewing session with Joy (and since I’m here I get to learn too). I’m so proud that she is determined to learn and because she is learning, it has motivated me as well! I’m very proud of you, Joy!

Thanks for stopping by! I enjoy your comments!
