Kate the Seamtress

Today, Kate asked me to help her sew something.  It was a bit out of the blue.  I didn't want to squash her interest, so we came up with an easy project - a hot pad.  She picked out some cute red and blue fabric and I helped her cut the squares.  I sat next to her for a few minutes, gave some general instructions and she was ready to go.

She sewed almost the entire hot pad by herself!  She is a natural!  She is very precise, deliberate and has a great eye for color and design.  I couldn't believe how straight her top stitching was and how good her corners looked.

She did such a wonderful and has definitely caught the sewing bug!
