Don't try this at home, folks

Reason #43 not to leave your sewing project unattended with a 4-year-old in the room.
Good thing I've got mad seam-ripper skillz.

  6. Thanks for the giggle! My kids did the same when they were little, and actually my cat has done this once as well.

    You'll always be happy you took that photo!

  8. Well, it could have been worse! -which is the mantra of a mom of little ones I think!
    reminded me of a long, long time ago...
    when I sewed at the kitchen table, I got up to do something and left the machine on and a very little person crawled under the table and just had the best time playing with the foot pedal....I remember a scream (from me) and a long time getting the machine unjammed and working again.

  9. Makes me remember Christmas vacation when my two year old grandson managed to get hold of applique scissors during naptime. He cut lots of slits in the front of his shirt, and he cut a hole in the side of his pack-n-play. I was so relieved he hadn't cut himself!

  10. He needs to create! How can you stop him?

  12. Glad it was the sewing machine and not a scissors that was in use Amy!

  14. Looks like an improvisational quilter to me. No rules quilting!

  15. Ohh my, I get what your saying I have four kids.....never a dull moment. Most importantly glad the 4 yr old wasn't hurt in the process...thanks for the giggle though!

  16. Oh yes - my son and our dog, who once sat on the foot pedal, have both done that!

  18. Amy - I understand, I have a 4 year old too, and he thinks it's funny to push the pedal when I'm not watching. Also, keep your scissors out of reach, I've had 2 incidents with Troy cutting up patches.

  20. Could be worse...he could have found the scissors!! :o)

  21. eeek! Better than Kerri's little guy who went to tow with the scissors. Not so easy to recover from that!

    ReplyDelete

  22. Woopsy! Lucky that's an easy fix!

    ReplyDelete

  26. Is this the same kid involved in the Sharpie Situation? At least this one's reversible!!

    ReplyDelete

  27. Like others, at least it wasn't the scissors. I was quilting a little wall hanging and someone cut a big slit in it. It has some very creative quilting in it now. :) Good luck with the seam ripper!

    ReplyDelete

  28. Looks more like a sewing under the influence job to me. Heh!

    ReplyDelete

  29. You guys make me laugh! Yes, this is the same Sharpie artist and a few days before I found him with the rotary cutter and a recently finished quilt block. Fortunately he wasn't at an angle where he could push hard enough and fortunately he didn't turn it on himself.

    This is the first of my kids to exhibit this kind of "creative energy". I think I'm going to have another Van Gogh one day.

  30. I got a good chuckle from that one! Thanks, I needed it! LOL

    ReplyDelete

  31. Funny! With my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter around I have to unplug (and sometimes hide!) the power cord from my machine any time I'm not sitting at it!

    ReplyDelete

  32. I have an almost 4 yr old too. Aren't they just fascinated by the sewing machine?? When he's in the room, I can't get anything done b/c he's got to sew his name.

    ReplyDelete

  34. They are showing an interest.

    ReplyDelete

  35. Oops! Hey it could be worse... it could have been a rotary cutter!
