What better way to spend the eve of Mother's Day than in front of her new Hello Kitty machine, teaching my daughter how to sew! Here she is in deep concentration.
She picked out yellows and pinks from the Strawberry Lemonade collection and she's going to put together a simple 9-patch, but for now, I'm just having her get used to the feel of the machine and practice on the leftover pieces to practice sewing a straight line.
And here is the result - her first seam!
Here's hoping all the Moms and Grandmoms out there reading this find a special way to spend Mother's Day with your loved ones. Happy Mother's Day, one and all.
Hmm, wonder if she would like to come live with me for awhile? Her seams are straighter than mine are right now! Happy Mother's Day to you too!
ReplyDeleteMaking memories...that's the best! Enjoy. My daughter hates to sew. Have a great Mother's Day. Nancy in WI
ReplyDeleteHow cute. I have never seen a Hello Kitty sewing machine. I just love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I remember teaching my daughters to sew and they started with some simple nine patches too. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteOMG. That is the cutest thing ever! I'm sure you are so proud. =) WTG to both of you!

Wonderful - it must have been delightful for you both *s*
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that is great! You must be so proud. I remember my first sewing project, with both my mom and my grandma helping me. It was the start of something big!
ReplyDeleteDoes it say something about my sewing aspirations that I covet that sewing machine? I'll never be a grown-up quilter....
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is beautiful and what a precious way to spend Mother's Day eve.
P.S. I remember some of Nicki's first sewing projects - she made me a pink and white hounds tooth jumper and made a matching one for my favorite doll. When I was about four years old!
Ack, this post was too cute!! Love the aqua hello kitty sewing machine!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so so sweet. What a wonderful moment and memory created here.
ReplyDeleteYep, she's a Keeper. What a cutie L... and we won't even get into how straight that seam is. I'm impressed (and a tiny bit jealous too)

ReplyDeleteI love your photos of Lily! What an adorable girl, and she looks so pleased with herself! Makes a mama proud, doesn't it? What a lovely memory for you both.
ReplyDeleteHi! I just found your blog today, I love it! I am going to see if I can find the hello Kitty machine for my granddaughter. She says she is "old enough to sew", at 5,lol. Stop and visit my blog sometime!
