Swedish Weaving on Huck


When I was in the fourth grade I had the opportunity to learn how to do Swedish Weaving on Huck Toweling. I enjoyed learning more and more intricate patterns and loved the bold exchange of bright threads on white fabric. Somewhere in storage I have a sampler that I made while in high school.

India has also been enjoying learning how to make different sewing stitches so I decided to give her the opportunity to learn this simple embroidery. I did the more decorative row and India was focusing on the rows of straight threads. She really enjoyed herself and I look forward to teaching her more. It is great to see a seven year old focus on a new skill.
