June is the month of birthdays around here.
Birthday parties for both my daughters.. which means parties to organise, and activities to think of. This year I decided to offer mini-workshops for my daughter’s guests. I wanted to make something quick and pretty with leather, using not too much material and easy to make for little ones with potentially no previous experience in sewing..
Here’s what I came up with : Flower bracelets made with pretty colorful leather. Both daughters loved them, so that’s what we did. 🙂
The girls chose their colors, traced the template onto the leather, cut the pieces, stitched a few stitches… I helped only with the holes to pierce and press studs to install at the end.
Et voil
Wow. Impressive. We have an expression to describe this where the child demonstrates the known skills of the parent. You may be familiar with it or something like it:
‘The apple does not fall far from the tree.’
or less romantically….
‘She did not lick that off a stone.’
Thanks nic, that’s so sweet of you 😀
