I went out of my comfort zone today and had a go at amigurumi.
Pattern from an old craft magazine. It turned into a teddy bear!
I am pleased with the stitches, they are nice and tight and no stuffing comes through. Once again though I feel my sewing skills need to improve, it is not very neat where joined to the body (hence the ribbon around the neck!)

Anais went to orchestra after school.
Anais' finished bracelet.

Anais undid the knitting she had started (ages ago!) as she said it wasn't very neat. She restarted it again.
Roman has been doing sewing at school today and wanted to have a go when he got home. I gave him some wool and felt.

He was very patient, worked very hard and was proud of this.
He wanted to know what he could use it for. I suggested putting a zip in it and making a pencil case or using it as a place mat. He said a pencil case so when he went to bed I got the sewing machine out. I had to fudge it as there was not much felt to do a proper seam allowance and turn the right way. I hope he likes it when he wakes up tomorrow!
