Spidey and Belle spent the night last week, and Spidey wanted to work on a piece of embroidery that he had started on a previous visit. He's making a surprise for his mom. |
Belle saw what he was doing and asked, "Mimi, would you teach me to sew?" I quickly drew off a heart on a little scrap piece of fabric just to give her a feel for it. |
She quickly went to work. |
I had no idea how quickly she would catch on. I showed her a running stitch once, and she was off and running with it. |
Here's Spidey showing his work. I think he's pretending to be camera shy. |
Belle never hesitated until she had the whole heart finished. I think it's backwards in this picture. You can see the knots. I think this is pretty good work for a 5 year old! |
I also think I'd better find her a bigger project next time. |
