Bump, Bump, Sew, Sew

Sew Creative had a few small speed bumps like a sick pregnant teacher and school starting back up for most of my students! But creativity doesn’t have time for a break!

Look at what we have been up to!

Emma has been busy learning all kinds of new skills!  A few skills she quickly mastered is piping in a pillow, ruffles, and appliques!  She made her own piping and ruffles and was able to sew it all in her pillows beautifully!  She also learned how to do an applique and added the cross on her pillow as well.  I would say she can make her very own custom pillows now!  She has a birthday coming up so a big happy birthday to her and I wouldn’t be surprised if she asked for a few sewing supplies because she is good and seems to really enjoy creating and making fun things! Happy Birthday girl!

Doesn’t that piping look professional!?

Molly and Maggie are back! They have been having a blast at school and we finally got on the same schedule again! Woohoo- I missed those girls.

They made cute totes this past week and we had lots of fun making ruffles and flowers!  We did a great job balancing catching up and sewing!  I told the girls that part of learning to sew is learning to sew and stitch a straight line at the same time! :)  Sewing is always more fun when doing it with a friend (or sister!).

Kylee, who is Kebby’s age, is taking lessons now and her and Kebby sew a lot alike!  I am going to give them a class together.  They have a lot of talent stored up in them and I hope they get the sewing bug.  They will love it.  Kylee has made a pillow (really cute fabric may I add), and a chevron coaster as well as a headband!

(In case you are wondering- nobody likes their picture taken while they are sewing especially since they are learning- so I always try to sneak one quick one- but they know it’s coming…. but don’t they all look so cute sewing!?)
