Sew Successful!

My girls, along with another sweet friend, are taking a couple of sewing classes. I'm really hoping they learn the proper way to sew, then they can teach me! I learned to sew for the theater with lots of shortcuts and jimmy-rigging. It's served me well when I've needed it, but I wish I knew more about proper sewing techniques.

Anyway, their first project was a pillowcase with a little accent color at the opening. They picked out their colors and everything. Sunshine's had a vintagey vibe while Shortcake's was more fantastical. Aren't they adorable? The pillow cases, too!

  1. Very impressive Charlotte! Your girls have a great future of design in front of them if they so choose! I wish I had paid more attention in our home ec class way back in the day. I enjoyed the cooking portion but not so much the sewing. And my mom and grandmother were both sewers but that gene must have skipped over me. Now I just admire other's talents :)
