Friday, Friday, Friday!!! Sewing Boxes

Oh my goodness, I am so happy it is Friday. What a "llama drama" (for those who are fans of the "Llama Llama" books.  Illness, Whining, Finances, more illness, more whining.  Last night I let my creative juices flow and found a cool blog for sewing with children Sewing School.  I love their ideas.   I am wanting to start sewing again especially since I just spent $125 on a tune-up on my machine (imagine my surprise at that bill..not sure it cost that much when I got it 10 years ago).  I found some cute Camp Rock fabric for $1/yard at Walmart a few months ago and had no idea how to use it.  So I made sewing boxes for Dreamer and Sparkles using old shoe boxes.  We are going to Hobby Lobby or Michaels today to buy embellishments for them to personalize.  We are also going to pick them up their own sewing supplies.  They suggest Chenille size 22 needles, Craft Thread, LoRan Needle Threader, pin cushion and pins with large heads. Hopefully this will keep their little hands busy while I sew too.  We may need to include a box of bandages in their sewing kits also.  I know my children.  If you have any other good tips, send them my way.  Always looking for a good idea!!!!  Have a blessed weekend!!!
