A Special Visitor...Owl Pillow

Today, we had a special visit from our little cousin Susie. She is 6 years old and the perfect age to start learning to sew. She was very excited about getting to sew with us today. I found a cute and fun project for her to make. It was an owl pillow. What little girl doesn't like owls??? She got to pick out all the fabric she wanted to use. The nice thing is you can use up scraps. Well, we got right to work!

Here's the pattern we used. Enjoy!

Learning how to pin

Very satisfied with her work so far!

Creative Tutorials...They're All Free!!!

I stumbled upon a blog today as I was looking up patterns for baby knit hats. This blog is full of sewing tutorials for baby and kids sewing projects to home decorating tips and recipes. I looked up the baby and kids stuff and found lots of easy projects like hats, bloomers, headbands, cat seat covers, pillows and lots, lots more. Have fun checking it out! It's called Make it Love it

Here's a few pictures of some things I liked -
