When I started this blog, in my very first post I wrote, " I still have sewing projects I did, when I was about 8-9 years old". Even though I said that, I was not really sure I had them. So, when I visited my mother last December, I looked for them in my old room.
And, here are some of them.
I had put labels long time ago when sorting things out, to know which grade I had done them.
Introduction for the stitches was the first lesson. We used gunny sack/jute. These are from Grade 2. The neatly done stitches, I am sure belongs to the class teacher. This one is about 35 yrs old now.
This table runner/cover is from Grade 3.
The hexagon, place mat is from grade 5.
Little girl's dress is from grade 7.
They all are a little discoloured, torn from places (after all the years). I had kept them in plastic covers with sandalwood sachets in them. I washed, and dried them in the beautiful tropical sun, packed and brought back with me.

Aww ... feeling nostalgic ( I am sure you do too everytime you see these ) ... great blog ...
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you still have these treasures from your childhood. I used to love to make doll clothes for my barbie dolls when I was a girl, but I don't have any of them left.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely had the gift within ... it's evident even in this pieces you did so very young.
Hi Gaia... can you imagine, I somehow read about you just now.. Surely you belong to artistic kind :)) Since childhood!
