Cailin has been wanting to take flute lessons for a while now. A friend of ours teaches flute, and her daugther has been wanting to learn how to sew for a while. Well, I can do that. (It's about time those college classes went to good use.) So now we are swaping lessons and the girls love learning their new skills. We spent the day sewing aprons.
The girls searched for the perfect patterned fabric to make thier apron with from two buckets of cloth I had, once they made their choice we were off....cutting, ironing, sewing and creating cute aprons.
Delaney joined in the fun too. I loved listening to her hum or sing as she cut and create a project of her own. The words from Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf kept coming to mind--"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnngs of the human soul. Everyone can create, you don't need money, position or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty." She surely found joy in creating something for her dolls.
And the girls enjoyed sewing really cute aprons for themselves. Mmmmmm, I think creating a batch of cookies would be the perfect way to break in these aprons. 
I love that quote by President Uchtdorf. It really is true...it feels good to create.
ReplyDeleteThe aprons are darling and so are the girls!
