Well, my plans of having a knit dress started, has been dashed to bits. That is, of course, unless I whip up something within the next few hours!
It’s all good. I had fun over my three-day weekend. I mainly hung with my daughter, We played tons of board games, never even venturing into online games. She’s fond of World of Warcraft… I introduced her to that, and yesterday, I assisted her as she sewed serged a pillow! This girl loves, loves, loves pillows. You should see her bed. It’s covered with them! She’s thrilled that she knows how to sew, I have a feeling I’ll be seeing a whole lot more pillows gracing her bed.
Take a look below, it’s the Vicious Villian fabric we purchased on Saturday!
She did this on my Serger. My daughter is 11 years old. If she can work a serger, I know you adults that are fearful of this machine can. My serger does 2000 stitches per minute.
Here’s my daughter! She’s hand basting the open seam.
I love the look of concentration she has while she is hand sewing the pillow closed.
..and there you have it, one Disney themed pillow made by my daughter.
My knit dress will be started, and hopefully complete, sometime this week. No, I will not leave myself out of the equation. I’m working myself back into sewing items for myself.
That’s a nice looking pillow! My boys even love to make pillows. They’re such a fun and fulfilling project.

I let my daughter see your comment. She smiled and said, thanks!

Adorable! Clever girl. My 10 year old grandson has been wanting to learn how to sew. When they moved back in Dec, first thing I taught him was how to surge. He and the youngest grandson love their “smootchies”, silky type blankets. I had him surge some for both of them. Yesterday he was over again and I had him make some pocket sized ones. He also started a scrap flannel rag quilt on the regular sewing machine. Kids love to craft!

My daughter loved serging, it’s not as intimidating as she originally thought. I’ll be getting an industrial sewing machine soon. I’m currently trying to figure out where I’ll place that! 🙂
