Sewing Students

It's been awhile since we have posted, but we're still sewing!  I had two new students, a brother and sister who wanted to learn to sew.  The boy made a pillowcase and the girl made a cute envelope purse.  Then they each made pillows using a reverse quilting technique.  The girl then went on to learn to read a pattern, purchase fabric and notions, and sew a simple blouse.

I am completing a project for a wedding gift (a secret for now), making a ringbearer's pillow,  and hemming flower girl dresses and the groom's pants.  It's been a busy sewing time.  Before the big Columbus Day sale at our local fabric store, I like to have winter projects in mind, especially Christmas gifts.  Then we stock up and sew in our cozy, warm house as winter moves in.  That's the best sewing season!
