Our homeschool group offered a sewing class at the local quilt shop on Wednesday, December 10. My children were anxious to attend! They've been doing some sewing at home but wanted to make some new projects. And we got the chance to see the quilting machine, learn about fabrics and make some fun Christmas ornaments.
We brought some fabric from home. Of course, the boys gravitated toward the tractor fabric :)
Each child drew their own design on freezer paper and ironed it on to their fabric. Next they sew around their design, leaving a hole to stuff it, if desired.
Eden is cutting out a Christmas tree. She chose the pink fabric, of course.
Eliza picked the fabric with all different birds on it. She also chose a Christmas tree design.
Ephraim chose an oval design on red tractor fabric.
The class participants with their projects. Emmet's is a stuffed letter E. Ephraim's is the oval ornament with a red tractor. Eden & Eliza made stuffed Christmas trees.
This was a great time to get together with others and allow our children time to work on kid-friendly projects. We got home and the sewing continued. My children were all excited about being able to make/design their own projects at home and just doodle with the sewing machine.
