He is has made two cushions which he designed himself, the front with edicol dye and drew the pictures. The back was tie-dyed in his favourite colour - purple. Wool was sewn around as the border. With a one centermetre edge, tabs were cut. Then the tabs were tied together in knots, insert cushion and tie the remaining side. Very simple and beautiful to look at. Now displayed in the school library. He is now teaching me to make one and has sparked off many ideas for Christmas presents! .-= Tracy9´s last blog post ..<a href="http://fromthekiwigirl.blogspot.com/2009/08/found.html" rel="nofollow">Found</a> =-.

Quick and fun is the best way to start. Try making little things like finger puppets with craft felt. It's a good way to practice sewing by hand. Felt comes in bright colors with kid-appeal, and the best part is the cut edges don't fray, so you don't have to think about hems and such.

Reminds me of my mom and grandmas teaching me how to knit and sew when I was really little. I had the same scarf going for 10 years! :) I love reading your blog but I think this has to be my favourite post yet!

I'd love to find a woman who'd take me under her wing as an apprentice and teach me first by hand and then with a machine...then I in turn could teach my 4 year old. Anyone recommend first steps for achieving my dream of learning to sew? I have never learned how to sew (either by hand or on a machine), and I would really like to learn how.
