Sewing Saturday - Pin Cushion

So this Saturday we did another small project. Now that Maimoonah knows the running or straight stitch, I took out one of her old nappies and cut out a small piece and put dots on all the sides and asked her to stitch the running stitches along the dots. 

Masha Allaah she threaded the needle on her own and I knotted it and she did this so independently without my help. Putting dots and having the nappy material which is very soft and easy to sew was a good move. I have to get some sewing supplies so until then I am using whatever is available in the house thus I used this old nappy : )

 

Then we used fabric paint and she drew this flower.

 

 After it dried she ironed it for it to pop up. The paint was not enough I think and it did not make a big difference.

This is the first time in her life she has used the iron!

Any way then we stuffed the wool and stitched.

This is how it looks after completing.

I would not call it a great project, but she really loved the process and the final product, she actually wanted that to be a her small pillow. So I said we will make a pillow later on Insha Allaah!


She also stitched this embroidery card from the pack the sister sent her as a gift. She chose the colour of the thread and insisted on it, so I hope you can see the stitches Insha Allaah!
