Life Skills- Hand Sewing

In our abandonment of the structured schooling thing, we've found ourselves happily occupied indeed.

At Emma's request, we did some hand sewing.

Emma worked really hard, and very intensely, and finished her new doll in just a few hours. After lunch, she wanted to work on a new project. She chose Lambkins (free pattern). 

Stitching on the nose.

And, once the Lambkin was done, Emma wanted another project to work on. I ended up drawing up a pattern for a mini horse. It turned out pretty good, so I am in the process of making a tutorial. 

Once I get the tutorial finished, I will add a link!
