Kids Craft #3 - Sewing A Pillow - Brooklyn

Brooklyn wanted to learn to make something using my sewing machine and I was more than happy to do so. I love to sew, although I am not that good at it - I still have fun trying. Now Brooklyn enjoys it too!

Her bedroom is a zebra motiff so she chose to make 2 pillows from zebra print fabric that I had left over from another project.

 I helped her out a little on the first one but she made the 2nd one all by herself. Good job, Brooklyn!

Singing About My Singer {Sewing Machine}

I realized I never have posted a photo of my new sewing machine. The one that is in the picture at the bottom of my blog is of my old one. I bought this one right after we redid the sunroom and turned it into a sewing/craft room. I have been really happy with it. It is so easy to fill and load the bobbin (my last one was a pain in the patootie)
