Claire's 1st {Sewing Project}

If you know my kid

you know her favorite phrase is

"What can I do now?"

(I've seriously heard it at least five times while writing this post)

So to keep myself sane this summer

I religiously read

Skip to My Lou

and

steal every single ideaLast week one of the ideas was pillow making

and then the next day was embroidery

two things I ♥ 'd when I was a little girl

I just didn't know if Claire was old enough to do this

While the embroidery was not too hard for her

it did not captivate her attention

(i had to do most of the embroidery--

i think i was around 10 when i started liking this stuff)

but

she did love drawing her own design

and choosing the colors it would be

She also loved choosing her own fabric

whatever she wanted

I think she did a great job matching her room

and the Cat fabric is soooooooo her

She was most excited about getting to use the sewing machine

this was the hardest part for me

there is a reason

five year olds are not allowed to drive

heck, I don't know how she rides a bike

she does not know how to watch where she is going!!!!!

She did love using the sewing machine

and course

she is the BEST pillow stuffer in the world.

Great Job Claire!!!!!
