My daughter has been wanting to learn to sew, but Buzzard and I don't feel she is ready to work with the sewing machine. I recently came across some websites to teach me and her how to sew with our hands. This is one skill I must admit I have not yet learnt. Children seem to like it when you are learning right along with them any way, so this should be fun.
Raising Homemakers
If your child is ready to start using the sewing machine you might be interested in this website.
One Hour Craft
As I was looking for some crafts I could do with Coqui, she loves crafts, I stumbled across something wonderful, two websites for making dolls. I have been telling Buzzard that I wanted to make a home-made doll for her for Christmas. This way I can personalize it and make clothes just like the ones I make for Coqui.
Skip to My Lou several free patterns here
Doll Net Market you can buy some inexpensive doll patterns here. Most are for intermediate and experienced doll makers, which I hope to someday achieve.
Doll Maker This one has a life-size doll with a free pattern.
The Purl Bee In case you are interested in making a felt doll. These can be very pretty.
With so many families being on strict budgets this Christmas maybe some of you will find these websites inspiring.
Since I wear dresses all the time my little girl prefers to wear them too. I am teaching her to be lady like when she wears one, but she is just a young girl. Tonight I found a blog post that will help me to help her.
