Mother-Daughter Time…

September 27, 2010 by Jodi 5 Comments

This fall has my eldest in preschool and my mornings are a bit easier.  In fact this morning, my one-year-old took his nap two hours early and I found myself alone with my daughter.  I immediately started rushing around cleaning house (OK, fine, I checked Facebook first).  Until a sweet little “Can you show me how to sew, Mommy?” stopped me in my tracks and I spent the next two hours enjoying my daughter.  I mean how could you resist this sweet little person?

I asked her what she wanted to sew and she told me “pajamas for her ‘baby sister'”.  After compromising down to a simple skirt, she picked fabric and thread and we got to work.  We cut together, pinned, and I let her press the Start/Stop buttons as I guided the fabric through.

It was definitely more fun the washing the bathroom floor.

Sew Fearless is about a reckless pursuit of the sewing craft. It is about not letting your fears talk you out of your dreams. It is a place to go for encouragement, information, and sewing camaraderie. It’s a place where “done” is better than “perfect”, and where saying “I didn’t try” is worse than “I failed”. Read More…
