My nine year old granddaughter Zahalia, making her first pair of shorts, including pockets. I did the cutting.

    Zahalia did an awesome job with pockets no less on her super cute shorts!! They are adorable! Looks like she knows her way around a sewing machine!

    Zahalia has undiagnosed ADHD, the divergence is strong in our family. I had to really encourage her to take her time and keep her seems straight. She was very patient most of the time, and she was thrilled with the end result, it was some farm animal blocks that I got from temu, she stitched the squares together, then I cut the pattern and she sewed the shorts. She had only done straight bags before that.

      Yes it is great to pass on those skills, and I am able to teach her how to do things properly and not rush. It took me decades to learn that.

    I know Diane, it is crazy, and I have not done the next one yet, too many other bright shiny objects distracting me.

I am working on a quick Halloween set to run along with the chickens to get them out before Halloween. But now my machine has broken down. I am trading it in but it will be a week or two until I get the new one. I hope I can get it on time to test stitch the Halloween set.

Hi Alice, is there supposed to be a chicken today? I am not finding it, just an fyi. Thank you for the wonderful freebies.

    No I thought I had put it in the newsletter, but I have been a bit busy, the chicken designs are going to be spaced out evenly along the course of the alphabet, I will post the dates when I get a chance.

Morning Alice, May I please ask IF I missed Funny Chicken Letter 0 as today & yesterday the same Funny Chicken 01 design is posted! Thanks in advance for your assistance!

    The letters are running for 36 hours with a 12 hour overlap, that is to make sure people don't miss the window.
