I hope Mandrake doesn't mind... but I got the boys into sewing the other night.
They each have a small mound of favourite soft toys that sit on their beds, and are constantly begging me to sew weird and wonderful things... so I decided to let them have a go themselves.
I was quite pleasantly surprised! Son of Mandrake drew his own design, cut it out, and then used it to cut out the material he had chosen. Mandrake Jr had a bit more trouble, but is slowly getting there with his square thingy... and Miss 4, well, lets just say that it's a very unusual thing but I am sure I will be able to help her make it look like something!
Will keep you posted with the finished products soon!
p.s. note Mandrake Jr's no. 2 haircut... Mandrakes fault - nothing to do with me at all!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I think boys totally need to learn to sew ..... then when they are men they can sew their own buttons back on their shirts! haha.
