Teaching Homemaking Skills

 I love teaching homemaking skills. I will teach to anyone who wants to learn. 

I had the pleasure of teaching our sons to cook and clean so they would know how to do things for themselves when they moved out and on their own in the world. I did not want them to be handicapped and not know how to do some things. Those things have come in handy because they help their wives in their own homes and work as a team. They even know how to sew on a button. 

Now, a second generation later, I am getting to teach little Homemakers. 

They have been helping me cook and clean since they could walk. 

Now I get to add teaching sewing skills to their list. 

I have taught them how to sew stitches, sew on buttons and now cutting out patterns, pin them to fabric and then cut out their material. 

I let them help me guide the fabric under the sewing machine and get the feel of a machines noise and motion. I finished the harder parts they are not ready for yet.  We will get to those steps later. 

They were so proud of themselves. And they wore them to bed that night. 

All children can learn simple life skills starting in the toddler years. If we do not teach them these skills they will not be able to function properly later in life when they leave home. 

Let's get back to being those Titus 2 women in the Bible. The next generations depend on it.
