I agree it's important to pass these skills along, like sewing on buttons or mending a seam that's coming undone, important and easy skills to learn.

This was due to the resurgence of old time handworks and crafts around the Bicentennial. It is no longer the norm to pass these skills down. Now, I am inspired to make a list of some of these old skills and make a point of teaching my girls the basics.

And it is quite sad that she never learned to sew by hand. This was a skill I taught my children when they were very young. We also learned to hand sew in school, making our own stuffed animal. My kids were taught to make their own pillows and stuffed toys. I'm glad I taught them, as schools nowadays do not teach those skills, sadly! <br /><br />Excellent tutorial! :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-67566537588143548942016-10-20T06:56:00.903-07:002016-10-20T06:56:00.903-07:00We used to learn to sew in him economics classWe used to learn to sew in him economics classbuddeshepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747323705664619491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-27204548357658235902016-10-19T22:12:42.155-07:002016-10-19T22:12:42.155-07:00it is hard to believe someone can grow up having n...it is hard to believe someone can grow up having never hand stitched she was really missing out on the most reaxing form of stitchery, do hope she can now do it, your tutorial is very clear for beginners maybe she will move on and start embroidery and come to love all those stitches toomargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225676137708827434noreply@blogger.com
