learning to sew...

Evangeline has been asking me to teach her to sew for some time...

And I will admit I have been avoiding it...but today I said yes!

She wanted to sew some pants...eeeeek I thought...

But we looked at her stash of fabric she got for Christmas, found a pattern and set to work....I decided she could use my machine and over locker rather than her little Elna machine...
Cutting out the pattern...

Overlocking the seams....

Sewing the hems and waist band...



Threading the elastic...

She did a very good job for a 7 year old!

I did very little except sew the curve of the crutch for her...

She was very pleased!


Not sure what she will want to sew next...but having made these pants I am not so worried now! Lissy
