Sewing in minature

Step 1 - measure the big-eyed cute toy of the moment

My daughter was given a gorgeous sewing machine for her birthday and today we took it for a spin. It's surprising how many steps there are to sewing something as simple as a drawstring bag or even using a sewing machine. All the things you do instinctively suddenly seem very complicated through the eyes of a 6 year old. So we did it in steps.

1. Measure the big-eyed cute toy of the moment.
2. Choose fabric
3. Sew
4. Admire


Step 2 - choose fabric

To keep it simple, I did the sewing and she pressed the foot peddle down - that's the fun bit.

All done, straight to step 4.

Step 4 - Admire
