Hey, unschooling parents and all people who are fond of handmade things like we are!
I wanna share with my HiveFam a new handmade toy of my son.
Don't know why but he is interested in sewing, and it's his 3rd toy already.
of course, I help him a little bit because all operations with a needle is not easy for him to do alone. But he tries to get this science, and now he is much better in sewing already!
The thing is I am not a super master of sewing either, so it's a kind of studying for both of us;)
My Dad is great in sewing both by hands and with a sewing machine, my GrandDad also was a master of sewing who made everything by himself, all clothers were sewed by him for his big family with 7 kids!
Maybe it's blood and heritage, and now my son and me also try to get this skill;)
We've bought a set for making a toy in the marketplace and started our magic.
This time the toy was mych bigger and more complicated, so it took 3-4 days for my son to make it.
But he was eager to have it so much that he was ready to sew all day long;) Thougn he was tired a lot, sewing isn't easy for kids...
Raccoon is my son's home name;) We call him so just for fun, and he likes this name, so he wanted to have this toy so much;)
Now some photos of the process:
and it's his home made of books;))
My son is happy, and doesn't pay attention his toy isn't ideal, it's the best for him because he spent so much time making it;)
Now he plays with him every day;)
