The Sewing Center

Welcome to my home...I mean, the sewing center.  Come in on, if you can get in the front door that is!  Doesn't everyone have a foyer full of sewing machines and a computer desk?

Both of my daughters now have their own sewing machines and sewing tables thanks to The Grandmomma and Poppa.  My oldest got her sewing machine when she turned 6 and now my youngest has turned 6 and look what she got...



Complete with her very own custom built sewing table that was made especially to fit her.

This is my oldest daughter's sewing machine and table.  She got her very own custom table as well.




I am so thankful to my in-laws for these super incredible sewing centers.  They are just so very nice and will last the girls for a very very long time.  The Grandmomma didn't scrimp when she bought their machines.  Thank you!

Now I just have to get myself in gear to rearrange my house to accommodate two more little sewers.  I don't want to leave my foyer set up as the sewing center.  I have a bonus room that would be be enough room for all 3 of us to use as a nice sewing room but it has temperature issues.  That room is just never the right temperature, either too hot (which I can't stand) or too cold.  I really like having my dining room sewing room on the main level of the house because I can still sew and be right in the middle of anything else that is going on in the house.  In other words, I can keep an eye and ear out on the happenings of my kids whatever they happen to be doing at the time.

Happy Tuesday!

Eager

So my 8 year old was in the mood to sew yesterday.  She wanted to make a stuffed doll and that sounded like a great idea to me.  Here she goes...


and little sister will be 6 in two short weeks and will be getting her very own sewing machine.  Does she look ready?


Quilter in the making (I hope!) but I'll be happy with anything she wants to sew.  Actually, if she learns to make clothes or window treatments or bags, yes bags, that would be great!


Little sister is watching every move her big sister makes.  Love it!


What a nice way to spend some time in the afternoon.  Waaaaay better than playing video games or watching TV - and they didn't even fight.

Right in time for Summer!

I'm so excited.  Amy over at Amy's Creative Side is going to host a summer series on Sewing with Kids.  She has 3 daughters that have expressed an interest in sewing and she's going to be cooking up some cool ideas of projects to work on this summer.  This is a great idea and I think my girls who are almost 8 and almost 6 will jump right in with both feet.  Great idea, Amy.
