sewing with kids: lesson 1

whipstitch is running a blog feature this year:  sewing with children.  we all were anxious for it to start and had so much fun completing lesson 1. 

lesson 1 is a simple craft with the emphasis being on "patience".  ahhhhhh.....yep....we need some patience around here BIG TIME so this was a perfect way to start.  just as mentioned in the lesson...don't underestimate just how much fun you can have & how much you can learn with this simple craft.  we all had a great time creating & mixing colors when dying the pasta and then fiddling with pattern & color when threading our necklaces. 

everyone's necklaces turned out so wonderful & we all loved wearing them.  don't they look fantastic!  & we, of course, had one for kelly when she came home from her playdate & one for mike when he came home from work. :)

really looking forward to lesson 2!!

happy wednesday!!
