Friday, Day Two
Project # 4 She did such a fine job! We used our 'invisible ink' pen to mark the spacing for the 'blanket' stitches on the envelope flap and she only needed help with tension (so we didn't cut the paper with the golden thread). Threading ribbon through the grommets was easy then. We need practice with knots, but she is getting it now, with the shoes!
Project # 5
How fun is a Wind Sock! We had to set up a room fan because there is no wind today. Hard work, those French Seams. Whew! We were definitely flagging by quitting time today.
Project # 6
She LOVES these shoes! She gets to go back to them when she is done with her daily work. Good idea, Chuggy. It's refreshing to see her reach for them willingly on her own. She does a thread's length worth and then we move on.
Last night's effort. We had too many beads on the strap and we couldn't get the strap through the buckle. It was hard to convince her to do them both at the same time, alternating between, so she isn't overwhelmed with the second time around.

Is project #4 for the cards she made?
Project #1 is the Paper Work; stitching on papers, familiarizing her with sewing machine terms and parts.
Project #2 is Polar Fleece Beanies. One seam, pre-cut, reversing the seam-allowance halfway for a cuff.
Project #3 is the Cut-Out Cards. Project #4 is the Ribbon and Blanket Stitch Cards. We have more of each to do, we're just holding them back so she has familiar objectives later on.
Project # 5 is the Wind Sock.
Project # 6 are the Beaded Chinese Shoes.
