Alexis wants to learn to sew. Last week McCall's patterns were on sale at Hobby Lobby. I thought it would be a great opportunity to teach her a little. We picked a few 18" doll patterns, and went right to work on the simplest pattern... as skirt. Before I let her jump in cutting and sewing, I had her read a booklet I bought a few years ago. I had her read sewing terms and definitions so that she would have a good idea of the pattern lingo. I am so proud of how well she did. She would do a step, then ask me what to next. I'd explain to her the next step and she'd do it. She did all of the hands on work herself. The cutting and sewing and snipping. She did great.
