I have been working on Christmas projects for a couple of weeks now. Nothing overly fancy but at the same time I will have to wait to post some until the holidays are over. We had a little extra time today and I thought it would be fun for my kids to do a little project of there own. My children are seven and four and both have taken an interest in sewing. So what ever knowledge I have to give has been fun for me to pass on. We started are Gingerbread man and stocking with some simple felt squares and traced two cookie cutters for the design. I taught my older daughter how to do the blanket stitch and off she went. I worked on the whip stitch with my four year and was amazed how it held her attention. All said and done I am proud of my little hand sewers and I think they are proud of their ornaments.

Good girls! They did a great job.
Wow!! I'm impressed...what a cute idea and such talented little gals! I thought Rach was too little to sew, but I guess I'll have to rethink that. I bet she would love it. Maybe we can learn together :)
She does a better blanket stitch than I do! Nice work!
Jen
they both did a really good job!
