Sewing Lesson Two

In a previous post, I mentioned that my grandson wanted
to learn to sew.  This has been a lot of fun for me and
gives me some wonderful one on one time with my
grandsons.  Plural here because my five-year old
grandson is now involved in weaving.

For Ian's second lesson we made a pencil/notebook
folder following Jhoanna's tutorial.

Actually, I made a sample first to make sure this was
something he could do.  Easy peasy for him to do.
We added an elastic pony tail holder, cut off the metal,
made a loop and sewed it in one side seam.  Then
we sewed a button on the other side of the folder so
he could close it with the loop over the button.

While my daughter and I were working on our
Halloween Banner's a couple of days ago, Kohler
wanted a project to work on.  I pulled out my loom
and taught him how to weave and make a hot pad. 

The finished project! He loves to set his cereal bowl
on it or his drink

Today while we finished our banners, he
made another one all by himself.

I love it that they enjoy learning and doing some
simple crafting projects.  And even more, that they
like doing it with Grandma!
