sakon76I must needs start changing bad habits into good. Specifically, the one where I pull a pin off my dish and stick the ball head of it into my mouth while I adjust the fabric to just where I want to pin it.
Because the 17-month-old Squiddle, he watches, and he imitates. And just as he needs to learn that most of Mummy's sewing equipment (pins, needles, scissors, machine...) are not his to play with, he also needs to learn that certain things (to date, pins and pens especially) are not to go in his mouth.
(When I judge him old enough, which the internet seems to indicate will be in about two more years, I will begin teaching him how to sew. On his great-grandmother's handcrank Singer. Minimal chance of sewing through his own fingers that way.)
