Wonderful!
Do you have to thread the needle for her?
I threaded the needle and did a stitch or two to get it started, but it wouldn’t completely surprise me if she did it herself! She’s pretty incredible…
Jackie, I loved the video. Congrats on not letting the computer win today! LOL Jamie is remarkable. Thanks Jackie.
This is cute to watch! Sew it together, take it apart, nibble on the ‘cloth’ a little bit, and then …? Does Jamie ask to have the needle re-threaded or does she just lose interest?
And I liked the wind chimes in the background. :-) Can the chimps interact with them directly, or just hear what the wind causes?
This was really touching, thanks for sharing.
Haven’t we all been there before. Just one more stitch to go and not enough thread.
[...] projects and seems to find great enjoyment in manipulating objects (she has even tried her hand at sewing), we thought she might enjoy watching us [...]
