First Sewing Lesson...

So, in honor of President's Day, I checked out a bunch of books to read to the kids about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln (and of course, we are studying "Love" this month!)  Anyway, there was a book for each president which included activities that relate to the time periods.  (So, we will be making stove pipe hats, and "log cabins").  One of the activities in the George Washington book was to make a "Lady's Cap".  So, Emma has been so excited, she finally got to help mamma with the sewing machine:

Fancy footwork....


WAY too much fun!! =)

That is super cool! I wish I knew how to sew well enough to just whip something out like that!
