We are on a bit of a go slow at the moment with general illness, but there are still times for making things as always.
Big Sis has made a pair of PJ bottoms from a piece of brushed cotton she found in the fabric drawer. I still need to stand behind her and guide the fabric a bit if we want straight seams but generally she gets a good steady speed going.
It is when we do this sort of activity together that she spontaneously says she loves me! Isn't that nice? Especially on Mothers day here in the UK.
Quite big but I convinced her that when she is in the cabin she needs big warm PJ bottoms. She was pretty proud of these.
Thanks for looking.
Jo and Big Sis x
Mother and daughter.
A big pat on the back for your little girl. She has made something useful and pretty. How lovely that she has started young.
ReplyDeleteShe'll grow into them before she knows it. Plus she's done a far better job than I would be able to manage.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Big Sis - she's done an amazing job, there's not many young girls or indeed many girls so capable. Liz x
ReplyDeleteWell done Big Sis - they look just perfect to me! Hope the general illness passes over soon, and happy mother's day Jo - enjoy the sunshine :-)

What a sweetie and what a seamstress....happy weekend..dx
ReplyDeleteWow, I am so impressed! They came out beautifully. I'm not sure I'll have this kind of patience when my daughter is ready to try sewing...you rock, Jo!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is such a sweetheart and so clever just like her mum x
ReplyDeleteThat's brilliant!!! My mum taught me to sew and it has bought me many hours of pleasure.....I am sure your daughter will remember this always. Sarah xo
ReplyDeleteLovely Jo she is a chip off the old block, obviously has her lovely Mum's talent and flair - well done, the PJs are adorable and she looks just lovely in them.

Such wonderful memories in the making, have a great mothers day.
ReplyDeleteWow, they are great. I can see she takes after you in the craft arena. No fighting over who gets to use the sewing machine, girls.

So beautiful in so many ways!! xx
ReplyDeleteOh I love the mother and daughter projects. Very nice Jo! The pjs are adorable and will certainly keep Big Sis warm.
ReplyDeleteWell done Big Sis, you are proving to be a 'chip off the old block' - not that I'm suggesting you're old, lovely Jo, haha!!! It's fantastic that she wants to get into such activities with her Mum, and especially at this early age, but it doesn't surprise me for you always encourage both girls in crafting activities Jo - well done once again! Joy xx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely brilliant! My 5 year old stands next to me at the machine and takes pins out of things, she loves being curled up next to me. Big Sis will remember days like that for years to come x
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! She did a great job! They look very cute and comfy! What great memories of special times together too. :-)
ReplyDeleteAww she did a great job, hope you are all on the mend soon

Big Sis is better on the sewing machine than I am! Such comfy looking bottoms they are...cute too! xo
ReplyDeleteLovely pjs ... Big Sis is quite the seamstress ... not sure I could produce such a professional looking pair ... Bee xx
ReplyDeleteMy mom sewed all my clothes, but was not keen on exercising the extraordinary patience needed to teach me to sew :) I am glad you are helping Big Sis succeed in sewing at an early age! xx
