Today was the very first class of Domestic Divas, in training (DDIT). I have wanted to start a little girls sewing class for months now and the time arrived today. Ella and 3 of her friends met at my home to learn how to sew. Our first project is this cute little tooth fairy pillow.......very appropriate for 6-8 year olds who seem to have wiggly teeth ready to exfoliate at any time. We started out with making a pattern for the tooth and then practicing basic embroidery stitches: running stitch and French knots. At times it was a challenge just to keep the thread on the needle much less wrap it around the needle and head back to the original hole in the fabric but the girls did really well. We had plenty of giggles, some frustration and lots of fun.
