Now that the house has been dealt with, we have moved on to something a little more fun! Kora has been begging me to help her sew some clothes for her Violet doll - do you remember the old fashioned, er uh, vintage doll? Well I found some McCall's patterns for dolls with vintage designs.
So Kora picked out a pretty purple fabric and is in the process of cutting out her first pattern. This morning I went over the sewing machine with her, showing her how to thread the machine and sew a straight line. This evening we cut out the pattern pieces, I showed her how to pin them, and she began cutting out the dress.
Aubrey is still hemming up a little dress I helped her cut out several weeks ago. This dress she has completely hand sewn, but when she completes it, I'll let her pick out a vintage-y dress and we'll get to cutting that one out as well. Don't know how much of the machine work she'll get to do though - I may have to help her a little more than I will Kora. :)
Aubrey is also starting her second crocheted doll blanket. She has really taken to the crocheting. I'm gonna have to brush up on my knitting so I can teach that too. If anyone knows how to "purl" let me know so I know who to ask for help!

Gen. Anthony McAuliffe in WWII, but of course there is controversy over everything so that may not be the actual quote.
