Twirly Skirts!

Taylor wanted the light blue and brown fabrics

I made these twirly skirts at a Relief Society Sewing class!  I let the kids choose the fabrics and away we went!  They weren't really that hard either!  They reminded me of the skirts my mom makes and the kids love wearing!  

Emerie chose the bright colors!  And she had a cute shrug to go with it!

Payton chose the light pink and brown polka dot fabrics!

Taylor's Sewing Class

A cute lady in our neighborhood is doing a 12 week sewing class for 4th-6th graders. This was the setup for the first day! What a creative and patient friend she is for doing this for the girls!

The first day they made a pin cushion:

Then the next week they made banners for their room:


Just last week they made these cute drawstring backpacks:

And today they made these awesome fleece hats:

Taylor is definitely taking after my mom in her love of sewing! Here she is making a purse with some leftover fleece and ribbon.

Grandma makes St. Patrick's Day Skirts!! (& Easter too!!)

My mom astounds me! She is so talented! She sews amazingly well! These skirts and shirts showed up in the mail and the kids were so excited! They ran inside and began undressing from their school outfits so they could put them on! I had to bribe Payton to take hers off at night to put on her pjs by telling her she could wear it the next day! So for the last two days she has been my little leprechaun! ;)

Everyone commented on Payton in her green skirt everywhere we went! --Target, my girlfriends baby shower, Sam's Club... :)

With Love, From Grandma

We got these darling Tooth Fairy pillows from Grandma a little while ago!! Grandma is so talented! She embroirdered each girl's name on their pillow!!! The girls were so excited when they arrived!! Grandma even started them out with a little cash!! ;)

Emerie will be able to use hers soon because she has a second loose tooth already!!
