Funky things I've made


I made this reversible pillow out of 2 funky fabrics.










I made this pin cushion out of cool fabric.
















My mom made this pillow for me
and it is now on my bed. It is so
soft and fuzzy. I love laying on it.



















Pin cushions and pillows are easy because you have 4 straight seams on the sewing machine.You just have to leave a small space open for stuffing. After sewing 4 sides you turn the pillow right side out, stuff, then hand-stitch the opening closed. And you have a finished pillow or pin cushion. Easy!

Sewing Lessons

I wanted to learn to sew because my grandma sew's and I thought I should learn. My grandma
taught my mom so my mom helped me. I practiced on an old piece of cloth and sewed a straight seam. My mom helped me learn the sewing machine parts. Then I upgraded to a pin cushion. I am hoping to make a quilt or atleast help my mom make one.
