You are definitely a star teaching your young ones to stitch!!! I hope that they will soon become avid stitchers

awww thank you. I hope they become avid stitches too . its soo nice being able to pass a hobby down to the next generation im hoping they will grow to love it as much as me and my other half and maybe one day will pass it onto their children that would be really nice

It is so fun to see our children taking an interest in things we can do together. Congrats with your daughters, mine showed an interest a few years back but now she just wants me to stitch for her.

My 3 year old son wants to help me so much. I have thought about getting him a plastic needle and plastic canvas to work on in a year or two. That's cool that they are so interested in being like you! Can't wait to see their work!!

Beautiful stitching. Wonderfully neat and even. Don't know that I could have done anything nearly that well at those ages. ( pleased when I do it now!)

It took around 4 hours to get the neat stitches with a few strops thrown in for good measure lol (the kids not me haha) but we got there in the end

Well Done to both of them - they are fabulous.

Fabulous work! It's so fun teaching kids how to stitch. I taught my BFF's daughter/my "niece" how to stitch and she's getting really good at it. She's just turned 10, but she was 9 when I taught her. We went straight for the 14 ct aida, needle and floss. But I'm going to teach her brother on plastic canvas with yarn.
