Just Sew Sweet ~ SweetPea learns to embroider
 
This past month our 5-year-old daughter learned to embroider.  Her first project was a gift for her best friend's birthday ~ a little kitten transferred from a vintage McCall's embroidery transfer.  It took SweetPea a couple of weeks, but she kept at it... embroidering one stitch at at time.  When she was all finished, I had her write who it was to and from as well as the date with an air-erasable fabric marking pen.  Then I used the Reproduction Embroidery Attachment and a Machine Embroidery Hoop (all on my Featherweight, of course) and followed her little handwriting with a light purple thread (below the embroidered kitten) using the free-motion embroidery technique.  Needless to say, I think this will become an heirloom to treasure forever.

SweetPea was so proud of her work and the finished project now proudly hangs in her best friend's bedroom.
