This morning Tallie had her first sewing lesson.
She was pretty excited and had been asking for days.
It consisted of learning how to lift and lower the pressor foot, practicing with the pedal and learning to cut the excess thread.
She practiced sewing lines and trying to keep them straight.
We sewed line after line after line.
She did pretty well for her first time.
She had good control of the speed but will take time to control the fabric. For her first project she wants to make a blanket for Kasen.
I'm excited for her to learn and I hope she likes to be creative and domesticated like that.
We also started reading The American Girl Doll books KIRSTIN.
They were mine when I was little and I had a generic doll that looked like Kirstin.
I read it to the girls and it totally takes me back to when I read them. I loved these books.
Is it lame that I even cried tonight while reading about the part where Kirstin's best friend from Sweden, Marta, died from Cholera?
I don't know why but I couldn't hold back those tears. The girls thought it was funny and laughed at me.
I'm actually laughing at myself right now as I am writing this.
Off to bed now, hopefully Kasen gives me a long stretch.
