My Little Seamstress!

Rebekah has been taking sewing lessons from my mother this year.
She's only had 3 lessons, but Mom says she's progressing so fast that she's going to run out of things to teach her soon!
Oh, Rebekah's sooo proud of herself! She's already made potholders, learned how to cut out a pattern, and she'll be starting on making her first apron this week. Mom said that this was how she learned when she first started so that's how she's teaching Rebekah.
Anyway, I had bought some material a long time ago to make Rebekah some cute little cool sundresses for this summer. Well, u see I got that done. But I'm proud I didn't because my little girl has taken those pieces of material and has made her own dress! Of course this material comes already smocked at the top, but still she had to cut off the bottom, make straps, sew the side seam, and add the straps to finish the dress. As far as I'm concerned, that's not too shabby for her 3rd lesson! (Can u tell I'm proud of her?) And she did all of that by her-self! My mother only finished the hem at the bottom for her. She was able to wear her dress to our CHENM night of encouragement Friday night and to church Sunday. She's probably shown that dress to 75 people! Now she's planning on taking some of the other dress fabric and making matching skirts for her and I. I'm proud of her for being iterested in something that's going to be so beneficial to her for her whole life. What a blessing watching your daughter already beginning to emulate the Proverbs 31 woman. "She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple." (Proverbs 31:21-22) I pray the Lord that this will only be the beginning of that virtuous journey for her.
"Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all."
