Sew What?

On Friday afternoon Cameron, her friend Felicity, and Dallin sat upstairs in the playroom and experimented with a sewing kit Cameron got from her grandma for Christmas. I have to admit, I wasn't much help. Except for providing them with some felt and showing them the importance of tying a knot in the end of their thread I left them on their own. This is what they came up with.

Cameron made a purse for her teacher at school, Mrs Mecham. Cameron cut everything out and sewed the edges and Dallin put on the buttons. He even matched them up with the slits he had precut for the buttons. For their first attempt (and unfortunately without significant adult supervision) I was pretty impressed with their accomplishment.
