Fox Project


My 8 year old son had to do a project on foxes.
I was delighted that he requested to do some sewing for it.
We did some thread sketching (free motion sewing)
of a cunning fox on a thrifted blanket using the sewing machine. 
He learnt quickly and did part of the sewing by himself.
I then stitched it to the display board for him,
with a little stuffing in there for a 3D effect.


I like his whiskers.
I hope we get he gets an A.

Inspiration for the fox picture from Sweet Birdy Love.

  3. Great project! Lovely that your son enjoyed a bit of (very impressive) thread sketching, and I especially love the dangly whiskers. You seem to be getting really good at this thread sketching thing. I wonder if you could post some tips? That work looks so fine and controlled.
