My kids have been asking me to teach them to sew for a couple years. We bought fleece to make snakes two years ago and last summer they each chose some fabric to make a pillow case but we never did either. Today was the first day of spring break and sewing was on the agenda. After I took a nap I set up the machines and we began our lesson. I found a machine at DI last year for $15 that's old but actually works so that's the one the kids will use if they want to sew so I don't have to worry about them breaking my nice Bernina, aka: the second love of my life.
It went so good. The boys loved experimenting with the different stitches. Sammy was the first one to finish his pillowcase. He absolutely loves animals so this bird fabric is perfect for him. He was pretty excited and can't wait for his next project. He really wants to make a huge stuffed T-Rex. Baby steps I tell him. Baby steps.
