Hour 1

Sew... I just couldn't wait until TJ's nap tomorrow. The girls and I had their 1st sewing hour tonight! Although, they didn't sew. We just worked on cutting out all the fabric for their purses. We're just making the smaller market bag. I thought that would be simple enough. I measured and they cut.

Here they are being silly and acting like they are falling asleep waiting on me to measure!

And here they are each cutting!


I have 2 Camp Rock fabrics, and 2 High School Musical fabrics. They choose to make their bags reversible like I did mine- and to use all 4 fabrics. And we found in my collection, a cute black fabric with little pink hearts to use for the top and straps! Hopefully tomorrow they'll get some time to sew a little. I explained to them that this could take a several weeks as we are just going to do a little at a time each weekend. They weren't so thrilled about that part.

Should I start a separate blog for the girls sewing???? I'm torn on this.

  2. Weeks sound like forever when you're young but if you keep it interesting for them they won't mind. I can't wait to see their finished bags.

  3. How fun! Sorry I don't have an opinion on 1 blog vs 2 blogs. Your girls are well behaved hopefully they won't drive you crazy wanting to sew so they can finish the bag, but if they do is that such a horrible thing? I'm sure you gave them the speach... Sewing can be addicting! hahahahaha

  4. So cute! I can't wait to see the bags. I think it's fun to have their crafts intertwined with yours. You are teaching them your craft after all.

  5. I'm reliving my early sewing days with my Mom as I read your blog... and that was more than 50 years ago. I think it's great you are teaching them how to sew and be creative. It will open a whole new world for them. Little kids love to knit and crochet, too!
