Tamlen was excited to have a day with me to "have a sewing lesson". Our first step was to make sure she could sew in straight lines and on curves. Also, I feel it is important to understand the machines you are working with. I started her on the treadle machine and gave her a piece of paper with lines to follow. Once she had done that she learned how to work the big electric sewing machine and she sewed practice sheets on that one (without thread). She then learned how to thread the machine and then she chose a pattern and started in to work.
Tamlen is cutting out the panties for the outfit she is making for Taren.
Tamlen is sewing the ruffles for the panties on the sewing machine, and doing a good
job of it.I was amazed at her patience and desire to do it right the first time but also the willingness to undo something if necessary in order to do it right.
Tamlen said she was afraid of the serger but didn't hesitate to use it when she needed to.
" I did it! I'm Finished- At Last!!!

Looks like Tamlen has already passed me up in the sewing dept. Maybe I need another lesson.
Did she cut her hair off? It looks really cute in that picture, but I didn't expect that from her.

Tamlen did such a great job!
Did she like her hair cut??? She looks adorable!
Kendra - Tamlen donated her hair to locks of love with Marenda.
