Learning to Sew

 My mom can sew.  She doesn't much anymore but I know if she set her mind to it, she'd whip up something great.  She made her own wedding dress among other things! 
I, for one reason or another, did not pick up that sewing gene.
Kayla might have.
And lucky for us, a super sweet friend of mine offered- yes, it was her idea!- to help Kayla learn more about sewing.  To me, it's much more than sewing "class" once a week.  It is a Titus 2 kind of thing, my friend pouring into my little girl.
So, on Monday afternoons Kayla and Rebekah work on projects from this book, Sewing School: 21 Sewing Projects Kids Will Love to Make. This book has fun ideas and tips on how to do them. 

This is a t-shirt pillow.  Kayla picked a favorite t-shirt (that had a hole in the back) and made it into a pillow. She learned the whip stitch for this one.   So cute!
