My FIrst Sewing Project

My Aunt Trudy is teaching me to sew. I spent a few days at her house this week. This is my first time to ever sew. I was very nervous. But it isn't as hard as I thought it would be. First I had to practice sewing straight lines on paper and no thread to get the hang of it. It didn't take too long. Then I made a purse and a bean bag. I did not use a pattern. I designed the purse myself, and my aunt explained how to sew it. It has a lining. I used the French seam to sew up the sides. I am hoping I can do more sewing. My grandmother is supposed to give my mom a sewing machine that I can use so I can sew at my house. I hope she does soon because I really want to sew. I like sewing. My 8 year old cousin showed me how to sew the bean bag.










I also got to spend a lot of time playing with my cousins. I had a lot of fun.
