she and whim

SUNSHINE

My BFF, Candy, has two girls that are BFFs with my girls. Her youngest had a Little Miss Sunshine party and my girls wanted to sew something special for her! And any time there’s a sewing interest, I’m on board! So we bought some bright yellow fabric and their noodles took over. The girls drew their designs on paper and cut them out. We pinned to the fabric, cut, and then sewed their creations on my machine…

It took a while to get their tiny projects turned right side out – sheesh!

 

 

We had some comic relief when things got frustrating…

 

 

Then they stuffed them! That’s always an exciting part. I sewed them shut, and they drew on them with fabric markers.

 

 

Little Miss Sunshine!

 

 

And a sun! :)

 

 

I thought they did a great job! And I’m proud of them for sticking with it. It would be fun to make more of these little guys – like a cloud or bird… It’s a fun way to learn to sew and have a new toy. Yay for sewing!!
