Sewing School: Fabric
http://sewingschool.blogspot.com/2009/06/fabric.html
When sewing with kids, it's best to have a large variety of fabrics for them to choose from. Often, they don't choose by look, but rather by feel. I also find that using fabrics that don't fray are perfect for first-time sewers. Felt - we use a lot of felt! For this reason, I typically buy the cheap felt by the yard or a variety of felt squares. Fleece - kids love fleece - it's so soft, great colors and prints. The main problem with fleece is that it can be too thick to sew for some kids. I just found yo...

Sewing School: Never Ending Journal
http://sewingschool.blogspot.com/2015/08/never-ending-journal.html
This simple and satisfying journal was inspired by a beautiful leather journal I saw at the Ozark Folk Center. I love how you can easily add and take away a standard sheet of paper with ease. A strip of ribbon or yarn holds the paper in place. Hence, the name "never ending". To make my version, use a standard felt square and 1/8 inch ribbon, yarn, or craft thread. You might also want some felt and fabric scraps to decorate the cover. Don't forget the paper! You will sew each end of the ribbon separately.

Sewing School: Threading the Needle
http://sewingschool.blogspot.com/2009/06/threading-needle.html
Let's start at the very beginning.I thought I'd take you through a few of the learning/organizational process that Andria and I did to make our Sewing School Camp run smoother. In the past, we threaded countless needles throughout the week. It seemed like that's all we did. This week, we decided that it was time that kids learned to become independent sewers. We taught how to use a LoRan Needle Threader. This is the best threader I have used with kids- it's durable and easy for small hands to manipulate.

Sewing School: Sewing School Camp through Phoebe's Eyes
http://sewingschool.blogspot.com/2015/07/sewing-school-camp-through-phoebes-eyes.html
Sewing School Camp through Phoebe's Eyes. I just downloaded my daughter Phoebe's camera that she took to sleep-away camp this summer and came across all these pictures from Sewing School Camp. I forgot that she took it to camp with her to practice taking photos. It's fun to see what she captured on camera and thought was important. Selfie of sweet Phoebe! This summer has been a whirlwind of fun, creativity, and discovery. I've been away from my computer a lot and hope to play catch up soon! He Sowed She ...

October 28, 2013. Toys, Toys and More Toys. Tristan over at Our Busy Homeschool. Asked her readers what toys they loved and what ones were not even allowed in the house. She also asked how we limit toys. I thought since this coming weekend is the weekend that my husband and I take to go Christmas shopping I would answer some of her questions in a post. This toy is in the basement playroom but on cold days in the middle of winter will make it’s way upstairs where even our 7 year old son will play with it&...

Monday, May 04, 2015. Knocking the dust off the blog. Life has been pretty busy here, so I've just let things go here for a while. Sorry! We have determined that I have COPD. Yup, lots of things have happened here. I'll have pictures later, as we are getting ready to go get lunch to celebrate the end of testing. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Knocking the dust off the blog. Blogs I read and love. It's a Boy's Life. Raising Our Pod Full of Little Peas. Links I love and use.
