Sewing with Babi

My daughter wanted to help with sewing yesterday. We’re away at the moment so I was trying to shorten my son’s new jeans by hand as no sewing machine and of course my 3yo wanted to help!

*concentration-face intensifies*

I put two of my hexagons from my EPP project together so she could sew around them. I thought we could turn it through, and have a cute lil’ hexi.

I drew a line for her to follow but she didn’t really get where to put the next stitch. So I ended up drawing little dots all the way around so she could see where to stitch next.

Angry sewing face 😬

She said I don’t like sewing about 2cm from the end and I finished it off. I thought it would keep her occupied while I shortened my son’s jeans but it ended up with me just helping her and abandoning the jeans for a bit 😂

What shall we make next and what should I do with “the world’s smallest quilt?” 😂 comments below haha!

My son wanted me to help him this evening to fix a drawing he’d done on a wood cookie at forest school. And of course my 2yo daughter wanted to try too…well since everyone was doing it I wanted to play too!

So we got out our acrylic paint markers we’ve used for painting on pebbles and did some awesome art on our wood cookies!

My son did his name and some cool designs in purple (his favourite colour), my daughter made an incredible, multicoloured surreal extravaganza. And I did some cherries 🍒 Ceirios is my daughters name, it’s Cymraeg 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 for Cherry.

At forest school they make awesome things from wood cookies, as well as name “badges/lanyards”. They’re awesome so I made one for Ceirios too.

We go to our AMAZING local forest school at Dare Valley community woodland, situated in the Dare Valley Country Park. A massive area of reclaimed land previously used for coal mining.

Forest school fun

Can’t recommend enough!
