I shocked myself as much as them when Marie asked me today if I would teach her how to sew and I dropped everything to give them a lesson on the sewing machine.  Hey, she asked in June, not November.  This is a GOOD time of year.
I taught them how to thread the machine and sew a straight (or semi-straight) line.  That was enough.

My mom suggested teaching them hand-sewing first.  I’m not a huge fan of hand-sewing, but it dawned on me they should know how to sew on a button. 

As soon as dinner was cleared I got out the stuff and away we went.

I called in to Stewart and asked him if he knew how to sew on a button.  He readily admitted he did not and rapidly joined in the lesson.  I brought him up to speed quickly and gave him a pair of his shorts to put the button on.  He’s a pro.

Nigel already knows a bit of sewing. 

OOOOoooooo – I just got an idea for them to raise money for another CRUISE!!!!!!
