Hi Hiveians

• I just found me a new way to keep my mind busy and healthy, most times during this holiday idleness is beginning to define my day.

• After all the house chores and some minute with inspirational books, I took up a hobby to teach my little sister of 8 an introduction to fashion.

• She was put through hand stitching and body measurement, thereafter she made a complete front bodice of a very small size.

Learning how to use the scissors..
This part was hilarious I tell you.

We used candle to burn the frail edges in place of a weaving matching

• I doubt 🤷 her progress so far but I believe a thing or two might have stick in her brain, she was so earger but soon got tired we had to postpone the back bodice till another time.

It is important to keep the young minds engaged this holiday and help them make good use of their stay at home time.

Thanks for viewing this post, have a lovely evening and stay safe as well.
