Matt's mom has been teaching sewing lessons forever and I still make things, so it was only natural we had a clothing and sewing themed week around here. Cadence is particularly interested in making things; I think partly because she sees sewing and knitting in her Montessori classroom. She practiced hand sewing this week...we'll get around to using the machine eventually.

You know I love this weeks theme! I hope the girls will always love to sew and make things. You planned some really fun projects. I look forward to those future Summer Sewing Camps at Dassa's house.
Love forever,
Dassa
