Tonight I borrowed a friend's sewing machine so that we could make bean bags for a service project for FHE (giving away bean bags to kids). That way they could learn a new skill and do service. The boys went with me to pick out the fabric, and then I taught them how to sew it and thread the machine (their very favorite part). Here is a bean bag that Alex sewed completely by himself. We're going to have to ask Grandma Judy how to do a hidden stitch to stitch up the hole, because I don't know how to do it. Nathan loved sewing but Alex REALLY loved it!
Then after the kids were in bed, I sewed some things. At 2am, Alex came down and scared me half to death! He had been reading "Superfudge" by Judy Bloom the whole time! He said he loves it. He never ever stays up late- he's always the first one asleep!
I sewed a dolly blanket and pillows. Katherine and I picked this out at the fabric store-I love the fabric!
Katherine saw this fabric with the ballerinas on it and HAD to have it! So I made her a little purse:
