Hope just recently turned 7. She is being home schooled and came for a day of weaving and sewing. She was not sure what weaving was and or if she would like it. She sat down at the SAORI Piccolo loom and I showed her a few basics and she continued to weave for the next 3 or 4 hours! She washed her weaving and hung it up on the line for the sun to dry it. She decided she wanted to sew a bag so next i set her up to making a twisted cord handle. She wanted red yarn for the strap. Then with the weaving dry I sat her down at the sewing machine I had threaded and she sewed a simple bag with a flap that she loves! When I asked her what she thought of weaving she said " I love weaving". So iI asked "what do like about weaving?" Hope answered," everything". "This is my new favorite thing." stay tuned for more weavings from this talented creative little person.
