Skills

The girls and I are reading through Proverbs 31 this year.

If you're not familiar with this chapter in the bible,

it illustrates what a godly woman is.

The text book we're using is Polished Cornerstones

It has been so good for all of us.

We have been focusing on verse 13 for a few weeks now

She seeks wool and flax,

And willingly works with her hands.

The text talks about teaching our daughters skills they will need in their adulthood.

So I decided to teach them to sew.

But as Kaitlyn sweetly pointed out

"But Mommy, you don't know how to sew."

True, true

But I can handle the beginning projects just fine 

and I look forward to NEEDING 

to practice with a sewing machine

so I can teach the girls.

This is going to be an adventure!

Our first project was quite simple, 

but the girls thoroughly enjoyed it.

 I just had them hand-sew a small heart to a larger heart.

 We clothes-pinned them to some twine 

and hung it in our window.

Oh I just love those sweet little stitches.

The girls had fun and are eager to learn more.

Wish me luck as I attempt to use my sewing machine next.

It's never too late to learn a new skill!
