Ian has been BEGGING me to learn how to sew...and since I think I told him once he turned 5 I would teach him (he is almost 6 now) I thought it was time to get on that...so I taught him how to sew a quilt...a mini one to give to his sister...they were both very excited about it!!!
Here's some pictures!

Ian...figuring out his layout...I didn't get ones of him cutting but all I did was write straight lines on the fabric and handed him a sewing scissors...he did pretty well! Rotary cutter will come in the later years! |

We turned it...sewed the opening shut....he wanted to do it on the machine not by hand...I figured it was his first so it was ok...and we are DONE! |
