A Simple Sewing Project: A Secret Note Holder
>> Tuesday, February 24, 2009
Our end of Feb. and March Handicraft/Life skills Study is sewing. I am using the lessons at the Kids Sewing Website for practice for me and to teach the boys sewing basics. Looking at the first lesson they had, I got the idea for a note holder to hang on their doors. So that they could pass notes to each other or to mom and dad and we could also use them to give the boys little notes. I didn't have any but I would suggest you use card stock, cut it to the size you want, punch holes where you want them and I had big needles good for sewing with yarn. When the boys sewed the paper together it left a nice pocket just big enough for notes. Before we started my hubby ask the boys what they were about to do and when they said sew (and they sounded excited), he said oh my goodness. I said hey,they need to know this in case they marry a woman that doesn't know how to sew=) This project didn't take long and the boys enjoyed it so I think it was a success!

P.S. I have already received sweet notes from both my boys tucked into what I am calling their secret note pocket.

This is neat...I would like to do this online sewing for the boys AND me!
Learning to sew is life skill that all of us should learn....buttons fall off, pant hems unravel, and the occasional rip in the seat of your pants happen. My men all know how to do basic sewing. In fact, my uncle was a tailor and he made fantastic money at his sewing....he learned it in the navy a really long time ago.
Great project. One that I am going to pass on to Amanda.

What a great little project!
This is a great project. My 6 yo boy just asked last week to learn how to sew. This looks like a great project to start with! Thanks.
