The Girls' First Sewing Lesson- Creating a Pumpkin Patch
Morgan and MaKenna wanted to learn to sew on a machine, but I told them you must learn to hand sew first. The excitedly participated in their first lesson with me this week. (Mary Alex thought her skills were way too advanced to participate in our sewing fun.) I found this great link on sewing fabric pumpkins: Family Fun To Go. The girls and I used thick craft thread and large needles to make the big basting stitches required since that seemed the easiest method for them. I let them pick any fabric they wanted from my stash. As you can tell, most of them do not look very fall-ish at all. They love them and plan to pass them out to their teachers and aunts.

Courtney, those are soooo great! I'm sure both you and the girls enjoyed making those, and I know the time you spent making the pumpkins together is something they will always remember. And, I bet their teachers and aunts will be thrilled with their gifts! :o)
