If you read this blog then no doubt you'll have worked put that we're a practical family.
Both side of the family are practical, On my side my father is a farmer and an agriculture engineer, my mother was a flower arranger but is also trained in soft furnishings and does many other crafts, my sister designs fabric and wallpaper for a living and my brother is a tree surgeon.
On my wife's side her father is a mechanic, her mother and grandmother are both amazing knitters and her brother is a car sprayer.
So it's no wonder that our children seem drawn to anything practical or craft based.
Sewing is certainly one that has grabbed my eldest daughter attention. She is fascinated by it. She loves anyone spending time with her showing her how to make something and picks up the skills really quickly. If any clothes break or tear she is the first to say she'll fix it!
