sewing 101-kidstyle

last friday brenton and kylee took a sewing class at joann's. it was the basic sewing class and they got to make their own pillowcase (and pick out their own material too). here are the results (kylee took the pictures)...



brentons pillowcase, which the teacher said he did very well, is pirate themed of course. i was so surprised at how excited he was about sewing and he now asks me if he can use my sewing machine...i am so proud!!


kylees butterfly themed pillowcase. the teacher told me she was still a little too young (the class is for 8 year olds-she is 6). her fine motor skills aren't quite there yet but, that she was a very bright girl otherwise. so she can try again in a couple of years. the teacher had to help her alot when feeding the material through the machine.


then ky decided to take a picture of her sister...


and herself!!
we are off to see 'arry pottah now, toodle ooo!!

Hi Marci,

(This is Allison) Your kids are so talented! You are super talented,too! I have always wanted to learn how to sew. I got a sewing machine 7 years ago for Christmas, and it's still in the box. Maybe I should sign up for the sewing lesson at Joane's.
