Sewing Projects with daughter

I was so  happy when my 9 years old daughter expressed her interest to learn sewing.
Fortunately, I always have a ton of fabric scraps and she can cut as much as she wants.
First of all she learned how to handle a needle and then I showed her how to sew straight lines on piece of paper using a sewing machine.
She was so proud to complete a fleece jacket and I helped her with final finishes :)

After the jacket was cut, we had a fitting and agreed that the sleeve opening was too small and she had to re-cut all of her pattern pieces. The second time was more successful and the jacket was perfect! I am looking forward for another project.

How to design pillows from kids sketches

It’s so easy to scale up a sketch and make different size pillows just using small kids’ sketches. Drawing a grid over the sketch helps to keep proportion. My large Cat-pillow was 10 times larger than an original drawing and a smaller Cat was about 7 times larger.
