This was what we had been doing for the past few nights – sewing felt animals!
Yes, even my boys know how to do simple sewing now, those that can’t be sold over Etsy of course, but at least they were learning and they’ve made the initiative in doing it themselves. My supervision is their definite and ultimate support, else they won’t even be given the chance in getting near a needle like Sleeping Beauty.
The thing is I have curious kiddos, especially Calvin who always love to get into my scrap-room, look around for my stuff, used them and suggesting things that he can do with them without even asking.
Well, I guess and I hope they he eventually will grow out of it but after one try on making these little elephants, he wanted more. He is now trying to make a little puppy which I have no idea if I know how to assemble them correctly without having the final photo available in the pattern.
I know the first thing that he’ll ask me tonight when I got home from work is to help him to do the felt puppy maybe after his talk about getting a present for his schoolmate, or maybe refusing to eat his dinner.
I do wonder if this will make him any softer as having acquire a new skill of sewing. I wonder if this will hinder him from wanting to know more about auto accessories in the future, or maybe Ultra-man, or Ben 10.
By the way, blue is partly made by Mervin, and brown is mainly done by Calvin, not bad huh!?
Wow..Calvin is not bad in sewing eh…i guess he has the crafty side of yours ;p
