Sewing 201

My friend Katie and I had our second sewing class this past Wednesday. It was great because we ended up being the only two in the class, so we basically had a private lesson. The class started at 5:30 and we barely finished at 8:30. We were laughing because the woman teaching us must have been so bored. It took us forever it seemed, but I was proud of the results. I love my pillowcase and Katie is going to bring hers up to the hospital when she has her baby! A friend of hers told her that she should bring a cute pillowcase to the hospital so there won't be just plain white pillowcases in the pictures :)

I had another opportunity to practice my sewing skills today at church again. It is really awesome to me how I just started sewing and then there was this opportunity at church to use what I was learning....perfect timing! We had another sewing day to sew clothes for the upcoming mission trip to the Philippines. Sara and Cecilia came with their kids and the girls worked on making paper dolls for the children in the Philippines while the adults sewed. Sarah and Cecilia said that the girls came up with the idea on their own. It is so precious to me how mission minded their kids are. They can't sew yet, but they did what they could do. They worked so hard and the dolls are too cute!

Cecilia made this white tank shirt to go with the skirt I sewed last time. It turned out really cute. I had to take a picture of the outfit.
