Let the Sewing Begin!

This is me on the second day of school.  Yes, the second day!  It all started with a simple request to sew that turned into a full-blown sewing circle!  The kids patiently and eagerly waited while Jill and I thread needles, discussed how to pinch the needle so that it doesn't come unthreaded, and talked about how to make your stitches just the right size so that the stuffing doesn't fall out.

We made dozens of little pillows and pouches that close with hook and loop tape.  To keep things simple, I folded over a piece of fabric so that it just needs to be sewn on three sides.

This year is already off to a great start!
