we’ve been slowly doing sewing lessons for my eldest born…(and sometimes for my youngest…you should see her “creations”)
anyways…we decided to come up with a craft they could make…an easy sewing tutorial….
not really embroidered….but made to look like it!
start by making a square of fabric…i hemmed all the edges…(but you can buy handkerchiefs for pretty cheap at walmart)
Then i let the girls pick from all the pretty patterned stitches on my sewing machine…and they just cruised around it…

some are a bit wonky…which is still kinda fun!
my daughter ended up making a peace sign right in the middle…
the girls loved making them… and i thought they would be a cool present for fathers day if your man is the handkerchief wearing type!
This is a great idea to introduce sewing. I remember being so afraid of the machine. it is actually pretty easy once you get past the fear. I wondered how to get my kids started. they are getting curious…..and old enough to “touch” my machine.
THANKS!
