Here are the pictures from yesterday’s sewing class.She won’t let me post pictures from today’s class as “it’s not finished yet, mom”. Today, they worked on a placemat quilt. They sewed all the squares together and sewed the batting and quilt backing on it. They just need to finish it up tomorrow. I’ll post pictures once I’m allowed to post them. lol!

This week, munchkin headed to sewing camp. Well, ok, so I drop her off at 9:30 and pick her up at 12:30, so it’s not exactly “heading to camp”.

She’s so proud of herself, and we’re proud of her too!! They’ll be making boxers tomorrow. I…

I have never made pjs before, but my daughter is outgrowing everything at an amazing rate. I was suppose to make these for her for Christmas. I was also going to make matching pjs for her American Girl dolls. But, I never did get around to it. So, I have finally tackled making the pajamas! First I made the long sleeve pink top with pink sleeping bear bottoms (I had a pattern for these). Then, I decided that I also wanted to make a short sleeve/short version, so I adjusted everything according to what I thought would work. Yes! It…
