Happy Mother's Day!

Lilsews1_2What better way to spend the eve of Mother's Day than in front of her new Hello Kitty machine, teaching my daughter how to sew! Here she is in deep concentration.



She picked out yellows and pinks from the Strawberry Lemonade collection and she's going to put together a simple 9-patch, but for now, I'm just having her get used to the feel of the machine and practice on the leftover pieces to practice sewing a straight line.



Lilsews2And here is the result - her first seam!



Here's hoping all the Moms and Grandmoms out there reading this find a special way to spend Mother's Day with your loved ones. Happy Mother's Day, one and all.

  1. Hmm, wonder if she would like to come live with me for awhile? Her seams are straighter than mine are right now! Happy Mother's Day to you too!

  9. Oh my gosh, that is great! You must be so proud. I remember my first sewing project, with both my mom and my grandma helping me. It was the start of something big!

  10. Does it say something about my sewing aspirations that I covet that sewing machine? I'll never be a grown-up quilter....
    Your daughter is beautiful and what a precious way to spend Mother's Day eve.
    P.S. I remember some of Nicki's first sewing projects - she made me a pink and white hounds tooth jumper and made a matching one for my favorite doll. When I was about four years old!

  13. Yep, she's a Keeper. What a cutie L... and we won't even get into how straight that seam is. I'm impressed (and a tiny bit jealous too)
