Dessie, I can't believe how grown up you look. You are sewing now? Wow, I better watch out or pretty soon you will be as good as me. I'm just learning too. Good luck, I am sure your sister and mom will be a big help. Let me know how you are doing. I love you, Aunt Darla

I really like sewing! In the picture I am pinning my skirt. Mama and I made it together. This week Mama is going to teach me how to sew on buttons. What do you like to sew?
I love you, Hadassah
Hadassah,
What a joy to see you learning to sew, and with eagerness! Maybe you can show me your new skirt sometime soon.
I had opportunity to learn to sew as a child, too, but I believe I first learned embroidery. I was a little older than you are.

Is embroidery hard to learn? I think Moriah has done a little embroidery.
I like learning to sew. Someday, I will use Mama's machine all by myself!
Do you like crocheting? I do, I like to make bookmarks.
Love ~ Hadassah
Hadassah,
The first embroidery I remember doing was designed with beginners in mind, I think, because each of the pictures were stamped on cloth that was fitted snugly into a plastic frame. That made it easier to work with and convenient to rip out and re-do, time after time. I have no remembrance of my earlier experiences but I think I could embroider neatly by the time I was about 8 or 9. Embroidery is like other skills - it takes practice and patience, and can be a means of bringing beauty and blessing others.
I have done some crocheting in the past but I definitely need practice!
I am glad you are learning to do handwork.
Love,
Mrs. Van Dellen
Dessie, I wish I had more free time for sewing. So far, I have hemmed some pants and made some curtains for the windows. I have'nt tr5ied to make clothes yet. I love you too. Auntie Darla
