Last week Dexter begged to please make a softie. He drew his design first, then cut out 'pattern pieces', chose some fabric from my stash and basically went for it! I helped with the final assembly and hand stitched closed the opening where he stuffed in the stuffing. But that was about it. The rest is all his own handiwork. A Frog Fairy of course!

Frog Fairy
I've been trying to sew some winter pants for the boys these past couple of weeks. It's not happening very quickly....well, at all! Dexter or Hugo or both of them keep following me upstairs to the sewing space and insisting that their sewing projects require attention/use of the sewing machine/guidance from me.
