Project One

Eva and I started to play with the new sewing machine today.  We wanted to adapt an adult tank top into a dress, but she didn't want to stand still while we figured out how to do the adaptations to fit her skinny body.  So, Plan B:  She found some blue flower fabric I had and we made a pillow!  I will need more time to get the feel of this machine, but so far so good.

She has been using the pillow while watching shows.

We are all happy to be home! Except Maeve, who is wishing for more people to smile at and dance with. She is quite the extrovert.

Eva made this skirt at the conference and was showing it off today. You can tell she is still a bit worn out from the trip.

Oh, Brother...

I ordered a sewing machine last week. I had an old one that was a difficult to use. If there was a project I wanted to sew, the excuse that it was a pain would put the idea on the back burner and it would fail to get done.

Eva and I have numerous projects planned (tank top dresses, blanket pillows, wings). Elias was talking about making costumes and bags for some of his "gear". I also have ideas floating around in my head. Now I just need to find the time to acquaint myself with this machine so I can then teach the kids. This hasn't happened in the last, busy week and might not happen this week either. I'm hoping!
