I have created a monster.<\/p>\n

A little sewing monster. Emma has been bitten hard by the sewing bug. Mind you, I am NOT complaining. I think it is awesome.<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago she asked if I would teach her to sew, and so I tried to figure out an easy first sewing project. Maybe a pillow? That seemed easy enough. And then I found this Million Pillowcase Challenge<\/a> and our sewing lesson turned into a sewing bee and we invited the whole Brownie troop. Since our group was one of the top fifteen groups to sign up for Meetup we won a box of supplies! Lots of cool fabric and thread…<\/p>\n

And after a few (just a little bit harried) hours our girls all completed their first sewing project. There wasn’t a ton of real “teaching” of the basics, but they all got to pick out fabric and play on a sewing machine and we ended up with a dozen pillowcases to send the cause.<\/p>\n

Of course we had to test out the seams, too…<\/p>\n

They are kid-tested, mom-approved and being sent onto the Conkerr Cancer<\/a> site.<\/p>\n

And, I’m sure Meesh’s birthday gifts are to her by now, so I can show these.<\/p>\n

I have had this cool blue\/brown fabric since Mav was born with the intent of making a little diaper bag for her. I decided on a smallish messenger bag instead. She can use it for a diaper or two, or just a bag for herself to tote stuff to school.<\/p>\n

And another of the buckets. This one is for her family room downstairs. For remotes, xbox games, whatever. I do love these buckets. They are so easy to make and so useful!<\/p>\n
