sewing lessons with gram

ok going way back here now, but i really wanted to share this fun project that gram did with the kids while she was here this summer. she got these special fabric crayons and had the kids each color a picture on a piece of sand paper. then you iron the image onto a piece of fabric. then we found some scraps of colorful fabric that the kids used to make pillows. gram showed kenzie and garret how to use the sewing machine to sew the pillow together, then they filled them with stuffing and then gram even showed them how to hand stitch the opening closed. garret loved this project. he had a blast both sewing with the machine and by hand. he really did a great job. each of the kids now have their special pillows on their beds. thanks gram for a fun time!


it would not have mattered how many photos i took of this, someone would have had a pillow over their face. oh well :)

You have a talented Mommy! Love that she planned ahead and brought all the items for the project. The close up of the hands is priceless! I know the kids loved it!
