bunny baskets, take two

these bunny baskets

were blogged about a few years back

but i pulled the pattern out again

as a quick fun project for my little seamstresses

as much as i like teaching them new skills

and they like the accomplishment of trying a big or intimidating project

these ladies love these quick projects with bits of hand embroidery

and lots of room for personalization

certainly a success in their own right!

winter sewing class update

my little seamstresses continue to blow me away

with what they produce (and often design themselves!) in our weekly classes

this winter, we started with a biggie:

twin-sized quilts for their very own beds

the girls designed the layouts

picked the fabrics

 

cut, pieced and sewed the tops

hand appliqued details on the backs

 

sandwiched, quilted and bound

 

these beauties

 all on their own...

at 10 years old? yeah... impressive.

...

one-day pom scarves 

quick valentine's lovies

saturday morning yoga pants

...

to welcome spring

we are working on a quick easter project

and then onto

sundresses!

back to class

my kid's sewing class

started up again this week

...

our first project of the year:

quilted pencil cases

perfect for september

a quick, 1-day project

to get the little ladies

back in the groove

...

and boy, did they impress

craft-show worthy

(amazing. seriously. these girls are nine!)

...

it's great to be back

woot woot!
