My little Seamster

Ya know how I mentioned that Dayton has been wanting to sew alllll the time, and the other night I was finishing up a project and he was just chomping at the bit to do something.......anything. I had seen this bib tutorial so I found the perfect boy type project. The kid was determined to do it all on his own. I drew up the pattern, and he cut it out perfectly....FYI this kid has some mad small motor skills, he always has. We always joke that he will be a great surgeon someday :D

Then he pinned in to the fabric and the terrycloth and cut them out...perfectly

He reallllllllly wanted to do the sewing machine all himself, but I let him run the foot pedal and taught him about backstitching and helped guide the fabric.....a little



He turned it inside out, and I tried to do the topstitching for him, but after one side he said "Mom, I can do the topstitching! I can do it!" So he did. He did let me help a little more with the ties though :D

And here is the adorable little bib that he made for his new little cousin Aiden :D I think he was pretty proud, and so am I !!

And if that wasn't enough, he wanted to make a denim flower pin for his teacher. I cut him a strip, and he did the running stitch all on his own. I didn't take a pic, (I know, bad mom!!) I was so tired but it was a cute yo yo style denim flower with a big pearl center and a pin on the back. His teacher loved it and he was so excited to give it to her to put on her 100 pin jacket.

The concentration is so cute :D

I have so many more projects to share, I have been doing lot of sewing and it is so fun! I'm trying not to make my posts so long so I'll save it for another time soon :D
