During art this week, The Fashionista went to work on completing her very first hand sewn teddy bear. There's a bit of work still to go but she has finished attaching, stuffing and sewing up the legs. The arms are also attached and there is now only the head to go. I have been helping with the pins used to secure the limbs as they are a little hard to twist. When I first started hand sewing bears I used to get the Papa to twist the pins for me.
Agent Smelly chose to sew a bow onto one of her teddy's ears (that's teddy in the pic and you can just see a glimpse of the bow on her right ear which matches her dress) and then she sewed some Guiding patches that she recently earned onto her sash.
Both the girls said they are really enjoying our Fridays and I had to suggest they take a break a couple of times as they got so into what they were doing.
I confess I sat at the end of the table updating the blog rather than completing any of my own UFOs ... Naughty Mama.
UFOs... I love that term. I have plenty of UFOs of my own!
ReplyDeleteSue I was telling another homeschool mums at swimming about our Friday afternoon UFO sessions and she thinks it's a great idea too and might do the same. There is such a good feeling when something is completely and properly finished!
