Little Seamstress
Teaching my daughter to sew is such a joy. Although
I am learning myself she always inspires me to strive
to try new things. We pick out material together.
Its great when we take a day and just go look at
material. We talk about the different fabrics so you
might say its a learning experience. Most of the time
we buy fabric online, from a few different sources.

We have a few fabric stores by us that we like to go.
Joann Fabrics is a good store to go to and they
have coupons. You can also buy from them online.
Stich n Sew is a local store that is close to us. Its
more like a warehouse of apparel fabric and decorator
fabric. They have everything in this store. The only
drawback is the prices are higher than most places.
It is a good place to just look though.
Hand sewing is one of the first places she began.
There's a book on the market that I love to look
through with her as it gives us ideas what to fill
her hope chest with. Which gave her incentive
to sew for herself. She is spending her young years
learning to sew to put away for future years.
The Hope Chest A Legacy of Love

In her education I feel sewing needs to be part
of her everyday lessons.
Right now she is working on making a tote bag.
So for all the little seamstesses out there
continue to learn new techniques.
Even if you sew for a small amount
of time everyday. That is better than not sewing at all.

Hi, found your blog looking up chickens and wanted to comment. I don't know how to sew but I would love to learn someday. My own mother was really good at it and I have very fond and lovely memories of that.
Beautiful! It is so inspiring that you spend such time with and give so much love to your children. God will certainly reward you for it. Your blog is lovely. Many Easter blessings to you.
In Christ,
Andrea
What a lovely way to bond with your child. Sewing is so rewarding ~ to actually have something useful when you are finished! I have sewed for many years but have never bought fabric online. I have been leery of the quality. I need to touch and see for myself what it is like. What has been your experience with online purchases of fabric? With so few fabric stores around here anymore, this is becoming my only source.
Making things for the hope chest is such a great idea. Both my girls started hope chests when they were younger and while they may not use many of these items today, they have sweet memories of each item placed in it.
Easter Blessings!
