Last
week I mentioned that I did a sewing project with the girls. We made potholders to give as gifts at Christmas. The project was a perfect first time sewing
project. They learned to pin and cut out
a very basic pattern, pin fabrics, sew straight lines on a machine and trim
edges and corners. They also learned
about turning and pressing as well as how to hand stitch and embellish.
The pattern
is a basic 8½”x 8½” square I cut from a sheet of copy paper. We used fabric scraps and items I already had
to make this a no cost project. The smiley
face fabric works perfectly for the potholders the girls made to give their
future teachers. Since they aren’t sure
if their teachers are girls or boys yet this fabric will work either way.
In the box
of fabric my friend had given me last month there was half a beach towel and
some terry cloth scraps. We used that to
pad the inside of the potholders. I made
a set for the camp trailer, which we used last weekend, and they worked
perfectly. Super simple and super fun! The girls really enjoyed this project.
