Sewing Saturday! - Introduction

So Guess what? We have started to learn Sewing! I thought that would be the last thing I would do. My Mom is excellent in sewing. She is the one who does my dresses even now. She tried teaching me from the time I was small may be little older than Maimoonah, and I remember learning too and we have done some nice projects together. But I have a problem Qadarallaah Masha Allaah, that from the time I was born up until now I sweat on my palms, sometimes to the extent that water flows right down. So whenever I start to stitch the whole thing is a mess. I use to write in school and do exams with a cloth underneath so that the paper does not get soaked with water.

So when it came to sewing as time went by I got frustrated because of this issue and did not go further and that was a full stop. Now after many many years since little Maimoonah is here I thought she must learn this. If I was with my mom I am sure by now she would have taught Maimoonah to sew on the sewing machine!!!

Alhamdulillaah Allaah has blessed us here with Air Conditions in our houses so I feel I can control my plams a bit better Insha Allaah!

So we started sewing this Saturday with the help of You Tube! Masha Allaah there are plenty out there. Also The Kids Sewing Projects is a nice site with all what you need to know about sewing!

We watched a you tube how to thread the needle and here she is doing what she saw!

 

A dear sister sent these Embroidery Cards for Maimoonah some time back. And we used one of them as our first project.

This is our small sewing box for the moment with the essentials. We need to get things but we started with what we had : )

With my help she finished this without a break. (She chose the colour of the thread and the card she wanted to stitch)

Then we watched on you tube how to stitch the running stitch.

I showed her and then she still could not get proper control but she knew how to do it.

 

End of it this is how it looked.

That was our first sewing lesson!
