I’m teaching a class at a local elementary school for a few weeks.  It is part of their after school enrichment program and my class this time is embroidery.  We have a great time and the girls are so fun and are picking up the concepts rather quickly.

We’re working on a Mother’s Day project now.  The girls traced their hands on a piece of felt and we are backstitching around the outline.  If we have time this week, I’ll teach them french knots but I think most of the time will be spent finishing up these projects.

We’re going to cut out the handprint with pinking shears and stitch it to another piece of felt.  I think I might go and pick up some lavender or something to put inside and have it be a little sachet.

I’m making one for my mom.  Don’t  you think she’ll be super excited to get a hand embroidered handprint sachet from her middle-aged daughter?  I thought so, too.
