Daddy-Daighter Date
Tuesday, 2-22-22
Genesis 7:11-8:3: The flood continued 40 days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. The waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark floated on the face of the waters. And the waters prevailed so mightily upon the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered; the waters prevailed above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits deep. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, birds, cattle, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm upon the earth, and every man; everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died. He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those that were with him in the ark. And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days. But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided; the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained, and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters had abated.

Baby Sitting Bag
13"x19" doubled, fabric of choice.
Example fabric has been split up. Our baby sitting bags will be just plain fabric, not lined
One improvement for the girls is to add tabs at the bottom instead of holes. 3"x5" tabs. Fold in half length wise. finger fold or iron to see center line. Open and fold raw edges into center. Iron. Fold over once more, folding raw edges into another layer. Ironing, leaving a piece about 3/4"x5". Sew along both sides of long tab. Cut in half for 2 tabs. Fold in half with fold inside the bag, even with the seam to be sewn.
Make casing 3/4-1" wide on both tops. Sew bag with wrong sides together (tabs inside sides on bottom, beginning immediately under the casing. We didn't hand stitch the raw edge of the ends of the casing, but would look better if done.
Image shows hole, but tabs are easier. |
Turn bag. Thread Paracord through one casing, across small unsewn hole, through other side casing pulling both lengths of cord to bottom tab. Tie a knot through tab, making sure the cord is not pulling top or side too tight. Cut extra cord off. Thread cord through the other side, and tying off after knitting in the tab.
Drawstring bag can be tightened to keep contents inside, and is now a backpack.

Blanket hand stitch Valentine Sachet
Sewing is not the girls favorite activity so I was worried about having another sewing activity but they loved it.
I demonstrated the basic blanket stitch to all. Then sent them off to work. I showed an adapted stitch where instead of wrapping both strings behind, they split the two strings and come up between them. It's a fun twist for those that like a little harder.
Then for those that don't like to sew I showed them how to just do a running stitch. One young girl made bigger stitches so I just had her turn and go in-between stitches and make another row. It worked out great.
We filled them with laundry smelly beads. It turned out to be a great project. I was grateful for my two graduated Primary girls that help sometimes though.

Embroidery
Learning to hand embroider (stitches are: stem, French knots and lazy daisy)
1. Cut length of floss.
2. Split floss in hand - three strings each.
3. Floss has a grain. The inside edge is the short edge. The outside is where you tie your knot. Thread needle. Roll a small knot in the bottom of string.
4. Push needle through the back on the line. The first stitch seems longer but it really isn't. Insert needle from top, on line, and bring needle back up half way through the stitch, on the line. With this fabric the first stitch will be about 8 threads. Remaining stitches will be about 4 stitches past the last stitch, and come up in the previous hole. Make sure the thread is always the same direction. I'm making my threads always inside the circle.
5. Continue working both circles around, one at a time with small stitches or add leaves at each intersection on the second loop.Wednesday, October 20, 2021
