Bumbletees sewing class

Anna has been interested in a sewing class for a while. We gave her a gift certificate to Bumbletees to a beginning kids sewing class for Christmas. She and a friend Emily attended the pillowcase class on Saturday morning and I was so impressed with the finished product. My mom can sew and did sew for us growing up and still helps with sewing repairs for us these days (Caroline says you don't know how mommy but Mimi does) so I think the sewing skills must have skipped a generation!! Emily has a mom that is the craftiest mom I know and even has a huge dedicated space upstairs in her home for all of her craft projects. She is serious! The girls were dropped off at 9am and chose their own 3 fabrics for the project. Anna was into the florals and Emily chose polka dota. By 12:15 when I returned both had created their pillowcases on their own and as Anna added, "we even learned how to iron them". Hmmm, a skill to be used at home for sure one day :). Both girls want to go back and I think it is a great skill to learn.  Here is the website if anyone is interested in a class in the future for adults or kids! http://bumbletees.net/ and then visit the sewing studio page for calendars of the classes offered.

they have picked out their fabric and are ready to go!

great job girls!! i was very impressed!!
