It was bound to happen after seeing their mother embroidering like a maniac in almost every single free moment she has. Both Luna and Zoe wanted to embroider. I already did some with Zoe during our stay in France but now Luna, who is only 4, wanted to do 'real' embroidery too. I thought the step from lacing cards to real embroidery with a real needle seemed a bit big but it went so well! Obviously I chose a needle that was not too sharp, yet sharp enough to go through the fabric easily. From my pattern stash I chose some simple Sublime Stitching images which I thought would appeal to them. The top one is made by Luna and the bottom one by Zoe.
They look so cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd with a mom who do such wonderfull embroidery it's no wonder they want to do the same
Dang! They embroider better than I do! :-D
ReplyDeleteYes, they do like they're really enjoying it, how fun!
ReplyDeleteSuch concentration! They both did so well! Imogen just told me yesterday that she wanted to do some embroidery too. I wasn't so keen though, because I had given her a little needlework/tapestry thing to do before it it was just too difficult - I had to tell her which hole to put the eedle in every single time. Maybe embroidery would be easier though, you've inspired me to give it a try with her. :-)
ReplyDeletehurrah for wholesome hobbies!
ReplyDeletedo they plan on making pillows or hoop wall hangings when they are finished?
I'm not sure what their plans are with the finished projects, something for their rooms or a bag maybe?
ReplyDeleteGeorgia I had one of those cross stitch kind of things for Zoe but she couldn't do it without me helping her all the time. This was much easier for her!
So sweet :)
ReplyDeleteGreat stitching!! Wow! they did great for such young girls. I'm not quite sure my four year old can do something like it just yet. I also admire you patience to teach them. Great work!!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet, and very exciting for you (kinda like how I felt when my son first discovered a book series that he couldn't put down)!!
