Songs, skirts and scones

There is a recent trend in our house: whenever I get my sewing machine out during the day, the girls ask if they also can make something out of fabric. Last week Hendrikje really really wanted to make a heart like the one we made for our friends. As I hadn’t planned any major sewing detours that afternoon, I gave her granny’s box of squares and let her pick her fabric and cut out her own heart (you can imaging I had to rewrite this sentence a few times, to prevent social services coming to investigate!).  I did do the sewing on the machine bar 1 inch, but she turned the heart herself and stuffed it with Ikea pillow filling. Not long after Kathrijn came in, saying she wanted one as well. Same procedure as last time.

When they were hugging their hearts, I asked them to pose with them. Would they stand still? No. Too interested in their late afternoon movie… So here you go: several blurry pictures of the girls with their handmade hearts!
