My youngest student ever!!

My daughter just turned 5 a few weeks ago and has been asking to sew.
At first I let her sew just some stitching on scrap fabric but she
really wanted to make something.
As you can see in the corner of the pic Mark was not far behind, he kept putting his hand on the fabric as it was being sewn as if he was helping make something too!

I had her pick out of my scrap pile
(that makes it sounds so little when really it is taking over my sewing room!)

Sophia picked out this darling fabric and we got straight to work.
She had so much fun sitting on my lap and sewing.
I am going to have her make a skirt next so she can model it in the
MaricopaCounty Fair in April.


She is so dang cute!!
and very proud of what she made.
She took it to preschool to show everyone her beautiful work.

Re-purpose Sweater Wrap

I to a sweater that I have had for years and cut off the bottom just under the armpits. Serge the raw edge. Fold & pin. Turn under the serged side and sew along to finish off the bottom edge. I gathered down one side using a gathering stitch from the top to the bottom. Sew it with a regular 2.5 stitch to secure it. I took about a yard of black satin ribbon and gathered down one side. Then wrapped it around into the shape of a flower. Sewed through the center to secure it. Then added some left-over sweater piece for the center of the flower. And finished it off with some beads. I can't wait to wear it with the new black dress I just bought!
