Sewing Like A Pro!

If you will recall Makena got a sewing machine last year for her birthday. She had made a few things off and on throughout the year, but really just needex some guidence on getting projects started. When we found out there was a summer class for beginners she begged to sign up. So shr started her sewing classes on Tuesday. I have to admit, I was a little nervous to take her there and leave her, especially not really "knowing" the people who taught the class or the students who were going to be in there. I was relieved when we got there and saw a few people that I knew. This session they made bags. Of course she did great and really enjoyed herself. She even signed up for the second summer session in July! I am very proud of her :)


I stole this one from the French Seam's Facebook page because it had the whole class. Makena was happy because she wasn't the oldest or the tallest in the class!


This is her bag up close. She was being a toot and wouldn't get her picture made with it! In her defense she was sick most of the week (maybe that's why she was so grouchy ). She was determined to go to class every day no matter how bad she felt.
She says she is going to make me throw pillows for every holiday to put on my couch. We even picked out the fabrics we liked in Hancock's. I am glad that she has picked out a hobby that she can find useful throughout her life. You go, Kena!!
