RE: NeedleWorkMonday - Learning to Sew with Mom ~

You are so fortunate to have your mom around to start sewing (again 😆). As you know I also refused to learn sewing (and knitting) as I was younger. My mother was so good in both. She made me Sarah Kay dresses and knitted colourful norwegian sweaters... sigh.
So a hurray to you to pick up sewing again and believe me, it is the dark side (hmmm perhaps only for me , because I fumble my way around 😃)
And you are a great role model for your daughter, because you show her, that one can always learn something new, indifferent of age and expirience. Your projects look very advanced to me, I love the skirt with the crochet pockets 😍
I am curious what yor mother gave you for homework?

I am so grateful to have my mom still around and for her being able and willing to teach me. I’m starting to see there are quite a few that had seamstress moms and that weren’t interested in learning. If we only knew.

Awww thank you! I am glad that you’re never too old to learn and I’m glad my daughter is so excited about this. She’ll probably surpass me because she is one determined little eight year old. Thank you, I made the skirt following a YouTube video as well as the pillow.

She cut out an apron for me to sew and hem up. So right now I am just working on my straight lines and how to hem properly. I’ll be sharing my mistakes and victories along the way ;)
