A few months ago the wee girl requested a sewing machine for her birthday but since then 'mean old mum' has not had the time to get it out and show her how to use it. Frequent requests and a big promise from me resulted in the aforementioned machine being lifted from its box today with great excitement and squeals of delight ( making me feel even more guilty than than I already had been!!)
After setting up, Little Em chose some fabrics from my enormous stash and ,as a special treat, I let her play with a lovely variegated machine thread by Oliver Twist.
She set to work with great enthusiasm practising first on some paper following some straight and curvey lines and then quickly progressed to the fabric (which was much more fun), cutting small pieces and sewing them on.
Not bad for a first attempt I thought.
As the wee thing got more involved and used to the machine my help and suggestions were no longer required. As usual she was doing her own thing her own way and I wasn't allowed to look !!!!!
Some time later the masterpiece was finished ......... a blanket for her little sister Hanni !
