This morning the granddaughters learned to use the sewing machine. They made totes from ballerina fabric. One has more blue with a blue lining and the other pinks with pink lining. We had to put a box under the sewing machine for the youngest. Her legs weren't long enough. They both completed their totes and were so proud of them. I had the fabric cut when they arrived. They did the rest. We used the new seam guide on my Janome. They learned to use the various functions on the machine. They called it the computer part (which I guess it is!)
They took their bags to the library this afternoon and we checked out some books for them to read. The library also had a presentation by Ballet Folklorico. They really enjoyed the performances which included dancing, singing, and musicians.
The girls also prepared their own lunches today. These are photos of their creations. We got a little carried away with the green food coloring for the seaweed noodles.

They are adorable! Think of all the wonderful memories you're creating together. Lunch looks like it was fun even with the green noodles!
I have been doing this with Liv too! It is so much fun...In fact, you have double the fun...Lucky you Pam!
This is so sweet, Pam! Your lovely granddaughters must have had so much fun!
What a fabulous work. It is best to keep colour pencils, watercolours or any important files also. It is best cover of bible also. I really impressed with your granddaughter 's work.

Hi Pam,

Your granddaughters are darling!
How wonderful that you are teaching the girls how to sew and that they have made something they can actually use. Love the quilted pieces you made for your living room. We are back from Nepal and I've been playing catch up today. Hope you are having a great weekend. Tammy
