Design Wall Monday

My wall hasn't changed much, although I have fixed one problem.  Sunday DGS#3 and I did a bit of sewing.  I cut a 6 1/2" square of fusible interfacing (one sided) and handed a pair of scissors and a bag of scraps to him.  He cut and overlapped them all over the square.  Then with a TEFLON sheet, he fused them together.  Then I showed him how to sew a straight line down the piece to further anchor them.

We then cut out two batting squares same size as the top and had him find a fabric for the back.  We cut that two inches bigger.  Going to the ironing board, we folded two opposite sides in half.  Then I had DGS#3 sew them down folded over the sides.  He worked on each part of the process.
We made a pot holder for Mom.  Today he turns 8!

  5. I started showing my 9 year old GD how to sew this summer. She made a microwaveable bowl for her mother on my sewing machine. I made her a sewing kit to take home and she has been making clothes for her stuffed animals. I'm so happy that she's able to create with her sewing.
