Trim Anyone?

Emma is one of my newest girls and I have really enjoyed getting to know her and watching her learn so quickly!  She made her pillow so quickly that we were able to have fun and play around with making key chains!  She so graciously picked out cute ribbon and ruffles to make one for her older sister!  What a great sister and a great sewer!  We are making coasters this week to practice that straight stitch and turning corners!  Look forward to having her!

 

 

Emma is my newest student, but Maggie and Molly were my first and still going strong!  Last week we had a fun project: Aprons! They already had the perfect size fabric in perfect patterns, so all they needed to do was pick out trim!  Check out these well-made aprons!  They did a wonderful job using trim and we all loved the effect it made on the aprons!

Lauren’s lesson was picture-less because we weren’t up too much fun besides our conversations!  Her past lessons have been making cushions and pillows for her mom’s house and this week’s lesson was about hand sewing the back of the cushions.  Neither one of us was extremely looking forward to it, but it wasn’t too bad and she has the fun task of finishing it up at home.  I told her to put on a good movie!  Sometimes to make a great product you gotta’ do a little hand sewing.  It’s a lot more fun to hand sew when you get to end up with something more like this though:

At least it is when you have a cute two year old who loves playing with them! :)

Happy Sewing!
