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!

    The ringbearer's pillow is so beautiful! It has a lovely autumn feel to it, and it makes me just want to see it in person! I love all of your sewing projects, too! They are so creative and really fun to look at. And the fabrics are amazing in a lot of the photos. Such pretty colors throughout this whole blog!
