They are both knitting a doll with various outfit changes (with Nanny's help)
Both have french knitting kits that they have been slowly working on - I think they are making a scarf for me for Christmas because they keep hiding their work (and then forgetting where its hidden)
and they are all super excited about a new book called ''felties'' and have each picked one to make.

Do your girls sew? Bunny (age 5) wants to sew so badly and I am trying to find some good ideas to help teach her. Do you have any ideas? I love the girls dolls too! They are amazing! Great work!
Yes, I agree. I'd like to teach my girls (5 & 6) more sewing skills. How do you start out?
Hi Julia
We started by teaching them to thread a needle and then moved onto different types of stitches using a plastic canvas. Then they got to make little rectangular pouched using different stitches and sewing on ribbons and buttons to decorate - once they had mastered all that they moved on to simple patterns (like the ones here http://bugsandfishes.blogspot.com/2011/08/how-to-felt-owl.html )
Hope that helps
Zelda
