Daisys, Love & Sewing

February 14, 2011 by Julie

We hosted a little Valentine’s party for Doodle’s Daisy troop on Friday afternoon and incorporated a sewing lessons as well. The girls had such a good time and were really good. When it was over Doodle said it was the best party ever and that I was the best mom. She is such a sweet heart. That right there is why we did it.

We decorated the house all pink and red, and put out a station for making valentines with doilies, foam hears, scissors, pens and glue. There were also snacks and treats that the other moms helped bring for the girls to snack on. They also could play outside on the swing set while they waited for their turn to sew.

I put together a sewing lesson for all the girls talking about my machine and how to tread the bobbin. I let them all come push the presser foot while we put thread on the bobbin as well. They got to pick the fabric of their choice and make a winter hat. They even had a chance to come back and make a second one if they wanted, and every girl did.

They had to cut, pin, sew and tie. They even got to use my machine, which made it even cooler!! They did a great job, and the finished project – their winter hats – turned out perfect!

Who wouldn’t want to be in Troop 4070?? If I could pass as a Daisy, I would have learned some sweet sewing skills!

You’re amazing!! Makes me long for a girl I mean my boys are fascinated by my sewing machine, but I couldn’t build a party around it. You’re so clever Julie:)
