I gave Bear a dull needle and blue wool with a piece of shelf liner to practice sewing.
It was fast to set up and she enjoyed it for a bit. I can see this as a way to keep her busy when I want to have a bit of sewing time for myself.
When she gets more skilled, I will write letters or numbers for her to sew/trace.
(and, yes, she's wearing an interesting mix of pajamas).
LOVE this! I'd heard of using plastic canvas, but this would be so much more manueverable for kids. I even think I have some in my garage.
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! We're going to try it!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I tried felt pieces with a plastic needle, but it was a bit hard for Anna to manipulate since she couldn't see the other side. This is much better. Need to see if we have a piece somewhere :)
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to try this. Mrs. Sayuri is very much into wielding a needle and thread. I let her thread some buttons onto some embroidery thread and she made a necklace of sorts that she was super proud of recently. Give Bear and J-Jo love from us. We miss you guys.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for leaving this link - what a perfect solution! My wheels are turning... I think I have some thinner shelf liner stuff that might worke better in an embroidery hoop, which would make it easier to hang onto and use. I'll have to try it out!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a super idea, I'll be linking to it on my next week roundup - thanks again for directing me over here!
As noted, I linked. Thanks again!
