The Zyriek Zoo: Anna's birthday @ Bumbletees

Anna had her 9th birthday party at Bumbletees Sewing Studio. It is located in Germantown and Anna has fallen in love with the place. As you have seen in previous blog posts she has taken 2 sewing classes at the studio making a pillowcase and a tote bag. She really does enjoy doing crafty type things (I wish I was more crafty!!) and so we thought it would be fun to have her party at the studio. The studio has done a few birthday parties and suggested an appliqued pillow case project for the girls to work on during the party. They only allow up to 10 girls so it was a great sized party. Each girl designed their own pillowcase and enjoyed picking out the fabric for the designs. Some of the parents that stayed helped to cut out the designs and get them on the pillowcase. The 2 employees helped stitch the designs while we enjoyed cupcakes and opened presents. They all turned out great and the girls were all so proud of their designs. My mom helped Caroline with hers and she had great ideas too. We ended up buying Anna a sewing machine for her birthday. She is doing a camp this summer where she can use it and hopefully I can take a few classes and learn as well. Always a good skill to have! Fun birthday party with some great and creative minded friends. Anna is blessed wtih great friends.
