Teaching boys to sew

Jeb has been very keen to sew for quite a while. He started  making tea towels which was great but he was a little over enthusiastic with my expensive sewing machine so we took a break for a while.

This weekend I saw that Spotlight had a sale in their beginner sewing machines so I purchased one. I will be a bit more comfortable taking this one out to classes as well as letting Jeb sew on it. Jeb did the marking and cutting, I ironed the edges and he did the sewing. It looks great and he's already making plans for his next item.

He even watched all of the instruction video. Which was useful as how many 10 year olds think their mother knows anything!
