Everyone keeps asking: Yes, Allie has done all of the work in the blog herself. I showed her how to upload pictures and attach links and she did it! ~ Theresa
I like to make things. My great grandmother came to America from Sicily in 1920 and worked as a seamstress. She taught my grandma (I call her Mama) how to sew and now my Mama is teaching me. All last year I went to my Mama's house once a week and learned how to sew on a sewing machine. Mama and Poppy bought me a sewing machine and this year Mama is going to teach me everything I need to know so that I can keep the sewing machine at my house. But now it is at their house until I learn more.
Today my mom showed me this really cool blog by this cool girl that likes to sew. Then I went on
wiki-how and got plans to make a sock monkey and my mom said yes! I could make it! We had to sew it all by hand because the sewing machine is at Mama's house. It was a lot of work.
I had to sew the legs.
Then I had to stuff the legs.
My mom helped me by drawing the tail, arms, ears and nose and cutting them out, then I sewed them up.
Now I have a new friend.
