Grammy Pammy came to visit and taught us how to use my birthday/Christmas present sewing machine. Really, she came to see the kids, but I like to think she was excited to give a hands-on lesson in sewing machine operating.
I started out with doing some pillow forms with fabric that I bought pre-cut since I needed practice sewing in straight lines. I think I got the hang of it. Then, the boys heard the sewing noise and came to investigate. Everyone wanted a turn helping sew. We ended up making 2 pillows and 2 rice heating pads. We even had enough rice in the pantry to fill one of the heat pads.
These colors are cute. Now I need to get some filling for them. And, more fabric. I'm thinking I could replace all my couch throw pillows with these.
Kella spend her time during the sewing lessons by creating a habitat for her frog.
Liam got a turn, too.
Marcus, modeling the heat pack. The pack heated up nicely in the microwave. Guess what the kids fought over the rest of the day/night? Right.
Glasses selfie.
Probably the sweetest thing I heard one of my kids say (Cale), was that he thought his teacher would really like one for Christmas. Of course, we will be making more heat packs.
