new book...

We had a new book arrive in the post today...it is fabulous....perfect for children learning to sew...

It has basic sewing skills with clear illustrations and then great little projects again with very clear illustrations. Evangeline is very keen and picked out a few projects...

First up is an eye patch for grandma... and one for herself too...She has done it mostly by herself...even threading her own needles with a needle threader...

She made hers by hand and then we set up her machine to make grandma's...
And finished it by hand....

I want to set up a sewing station in my room for her sewing machine and sewing bits...just need to clear some space and get a small table and we will be set!

And we had some visitors today....The girls played non stop...except for a bit of time playing a Wizard of Oz computer game....

And Ben gets home again tonight from a work trip to Melbourne....and some big news...Lissy
