Sewing Buttons 101 { A Pictorial } : :

Yesterday, after a couple hours of shoveling snow and one really hard, but hilarious fall -- yup, that's me, we sat down together to teach the kids how to sew on a button. It was really fun and as usual, we were really impressed with how quickly they understood what to do, all by themselves, with just a little guidance.



Here is what we did -- in pictures....

This picture is the last one I took -- you can tell that they were completely goofy at this point and when I had suggested that they stand together just a little closer and at the count of three they all say "I can sew on a button!" they all went something like. "Gaaahhhh! Eeeeek! Aaaaaahhhh!!!"

Things to teach the kids : :

1. Sew on a button.

Update : Two of the kiddos button trees have become little pillows and one is still on the hoop as a decoration. You can see more pictures here. It was a great project! Enjoy!!
