Katie Jean's Sewing School

I was thrilled to learn that Katie of Katie Jean has started her own little sewing school using the book as inspiration.  She is taking her young sewers through the basics of sewing and you can tag along!  Her posts are great - filled with info on how she set up projects, the kids' reactions, and a recap of what occurred.  Check out the Sewing School Flicker Pool for some great photos from the sessions.

For the first session, they made their own sewing kits - love the modge podge action!  Next, they made needle books and pin cushions.  The apple pincushion pattern from Sewing School became blueberries - I love that!  Exactly what we were hoping would happen once kids got their hands on it.

Check out Katie Jean for weekly sewing school posts as well as other crafty topics such as sewing and thrifting.  She also has a sweet etsy shop.
