I learned to sew today! by Erin


Today my dad was making buns, my sister was studying and my mom was sewing so I decided to sew too. I made two pillows in an afternoon. (my mom taught me how.) I made the design out of newspaper. Then I cut out the fabric, pinned it, sewed it, and ironed it. When that was finished I made the back and stuffed it. I enjoyed doing it and now I am very proud. Maybe I will take after my Aunt Shari!

This is me with my two new pillows.

This is my mom's project for today. The pillows are actually a dark purply colour but you can't tell.

what great pillows, Erin. I think you have great potential as a quilter - when you come back maybe we can work on a project together??? I can teach you how to use a rotary cutter - much easier than scissors. Love the colours you picked and put to gether :) - Aunt Shari
