More of Keeper2Be's Sewing Project...

Posted in Clothed for a King

 

We were able to spend a lot of time today working on Keeper2Be's sewing project.

This project is Keeper2Be's first time sewing using a pattern, yardage of material,

pinning, ironing in between and actual machine sewing.

She has been learning many new things.

She was very eager and determined today to try to finish her dress.

We have made a bargain... When she learns the basics of sewing, by finishing this dress...

I will then buy the 1800's regency dress pattern that she wants badly.

We came very close to finishing today. She was an extremely diligent worker.

 

Below are a few photos of the process...

 

Here she is with the finished bodice... ironed and all...

 

The bodice was not her favorite and she was extremely thrilled to be finished.

 

Here is part of the six-panel skirt she just finished pinning and is ready to sew...

 

 

 

Here she is sewing it together...

 

 

 

When we first started pinning the pockets, she was unsure how it was going to work.

But she was thrilled when she finished them and loved how the pockets 'hid' into the skirt.

 

 

 

Here she is with the finished skirt (well, minus the band she will add)...

 

 

She is even more eager to finish the whole project.

Only a few more steps away!

Titus 2:3-5

3 "The aged women likewise,
that they be in behaviour
as becometh holiness,
not false accusers,
not given to much wine,
teachers of good things;
 4 That they may teach
the young women
to be sober,
to love their husbands,
to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste,
keepers at home,
good, obedient
to their own husbands,
that the word of God
be not blasphemed."


Proverbs 31:10-31

10 "Who can find
a virtuous woman?
for her price is
far above rubies.
 11 The heart of her husband
doth safely trust in her,
so that he shall have
no need of spoil.
 12 She will do him good
and not evil
all the days of her life.
 13 She seeketh wool,
and flax,
and worketh willingly
with her hands.
 14 She is like
the merchants' ships;
she bringeth her food
from afar.
 15 She riseth also
while it is yet night,
and giveth meat
to her household,
and a portion
to her maidens.
 16 She considereth a field,
and buyeth it:
with the fruit of her hands
she planteth a vineyard.
 17 She girdeth her loins
with strength,
and strengtheneth her arms.
 18 She perceiveth that
her merchandise is good:
her candle goeth not
out by night.
 19 She layeth her hands
to the spindle,
and her hands
hold the distaff.
 20 She stretcheth out
her hand to the poor;
yea, she reacheth forth
her hands to the needy.
 21 She is not afraid of
the snow for her household:
for all her household
are clothed with scarlet.
 22 She maketh herself
coverings of tapestry;
her clothing is
silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known
in the gates,
when he sitteth
among the elders
of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen,
and selleth it;
and delivereth girdles
unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour
are her clothing;
and she shall rejoice
in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth
with wisdom;
and in her tongue
is the law of kindness.
 27 She looketh well
to the ways
of her household,
and eateth not
the bread of idleness.
 28 Her children arise up,
and call her blessed;
her husband also,
and he praiseth her.
 29 Many daughters
have done virtuously,
but thou excellest them all.
 30 Favour is deceitful,
and beauty is vain:
but a woman
that feareth the LORD,
she shall be praised.
 31 Give her of the fruit
of her hands;
and let her own works
praise her in the gates."
