sewing lessons ~ gracie's gingham strawberry purse

Gracie has expressed an interest in sewing! I’m so excited for her. We’ve decided to make her sewing lessons one of our summer projects. Today she learned the basics: cutting, pressing, pinning, how to work the sewing machine, and sewing a straight seam. She said several times during the process that she was having lots of fun, which is really the important part of being creative in my opinion. If you’re not having fun, what’s the point? She’s anxious to take a trip to the fabric store so she can buy patterns and fabric for shorts, skirts, shirts and dresses. What a fun adventure this will be!
