sew

Just as children learn to read on the laps of their parents, I am overjoyed that these girls are learning to sew on the laps of the ones they love so dearly.

Little bags and quilts are the perfect projects to ignite their sewing curiosity.  It is neat to see them working the machine, cutting and measuring and ultimately utilizing something they made.  It feels good to see them making something.  I like that they understand the amount of work it takes to make even the smallest project.  I think it infuses appreciation of handmade goods into their lives.
