The joy of sewing continues. When Camille saw Noah's handiwork, she was very eager to give it a try. It turns out that felt is perfect for these first attempts. Per SouleMama's advice I bought burlap before we left the States in anticipation of these early sewing experiences, but it must be on the bottom of those last few boxes I haven't dealt with yet. Perhaps that was a good thing. The felt wasn't only conveniently located, but also very handy for these amazing little creations...no fraying, easy to pull a needle through, and stiff enough to hold shape when turned into ornaments. I love the abstract designs that emerged. She loved picking the colors, stitching, and cutting off the loose ends after I zigzagged them on the machine. 
What a cute idea! I wonder if my boys would like to do this activity.
Love these! Very sweet!
They are beautiful!!! I love them.
I love the idea of felt. Tactile, sturdy and more colorful than burlap. They would be fun to stuff with potpourri!
Very cool! I love it. (Once again, copying and pasting for 'later!')
I love the way you stitched them up and finished them. So sweet! I will have to try it with felt sometime with my little guy, thanks for the idea!
What a great project! Think i may add it to next years christmas projects, they would be fun gifts. Very sweet.
Those have a great look! I must try embroidery again with Eva.
The results are nice and colourful :)
I have two boys and my eldest likes to "sew", I'll have to give this a go with him. hanks for the inspiration.
