Sew nice
I'm excited to finally be accomplishing a goal I've had for SweetPea for years...sewing! God's timing is perfect, too. She's old enough to really want to do this, and it's worked out for us to do it as a little class with our dear friends, a mom and two girls. I'm teaching what I know and using a wonderfully helpful book, Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Sewing as our text. Man, this book has everything! I'm learning a lot of new info myself and getting freshly inspired to sew again. I used to make most of my own clothes, but then I started homeschooling... In our first class we covered all the tools of the trade, setting up our sewing baskets, going over terminology, etc. We learned about patterns in our second class and took our measurements to see what size we wear. And yesterday the fun really began--we took a 'field trip' to a fabric store to get the lay of the land, and chose fabric for the apron project we'll begin next t
