Sewing while it’s raining!

Today we looked after the grandchildren while their parents went out to lunch. I had bought these kits a while ago and today as it was raining we started making them. As they have been to after school sewing club they were quite adept at using the ( plastic) needle and thread and the felt had pre cut holes too. However quite tricky for six year olds so they needed a bit of help and with stuffing etc. but…a good result as on the packet so they were pleased with themselves and still more to do another day! The kits are sold by ‘The Works’ and are a tie up with Prima magazine. I happened to go into one of their shops this week and found all their many kits were in the sale so perhaps they have not had a good take up? I may go and buy some more in the Sale! 

We also kept an eye on the England Woman’s Football match and the Tour de France on TV.

So chilly and miserable today, not like July at all. Needed a jumper plus socks and shoes!
