Ideas For Teaching Sewing

Posted in Lapbooking

Sewing is a skill that I really want my daughters to learn. My mom did teach me some hand sewing, but never got around to teaching me to use the sewing machine.  So, we had to look for someone (besides me) to teach our girls.

Yesturday my oldest daughter had her first sewing lesson with my husband's aunt, who is an accomplished seamstress.  She  started out by teaching a few hand sewing basics.

 

 She even made some "homework" for my daughter to do. I thought this was such a neat idea. The first is a single turn hem which my daughter has already finished. She sewed it with black thread so her aunt could check it. The second is six different styles of buttons my daughter had to sew on. The third is a double turn hem, which still needs to be completed.

My daughter is also working on the sewing lapbook I put together. If you are interested, you can find the information and free printables here.
