My oldest grand-daughter just turned six. She is a smart girl, good at school but lately there have been some reports of daydreaming, that and folding her math assignments into paper fans, but that is another, creative story.
Of course her parents had The Talk and her response was this:
"If it seems as if I am not paying attention and listening it is because I am thinking about sewing."
She has booked me off for two after schools next week because she wants to start on her Christmas projects. She has it in her mind that she wants to make her new aunt a skirt.
I know where this leads.
Ha! what a smart girl you`ve got there and ambitious into the bargain!

What a beautiful story!
ReplyDeleteWhen I go to a concert the best review rating I can give is 'I didn't think about sewing, not a minute!' Only the best musicians can keep my mind from dreaming up new projects or solving technical issues. Can't blame the kiddo!
ReplyDeleteGrandma's joy and blessing, this sweet sewing gen-e-ous.
ReplyDeleteY'know this is a little girl with a great sewing future in front of her!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful occasion! Your instructor was right, the silk really stands out in the photos. Good job on the dresses and congratulations to you and your family. Your hard work, love and dedication shine through in your children.
