Or, at least trying to get my kids to settle on what they want to be - and each year they get more elaborate!
I've taught middle schoolers to sew and I really loved it - how great to make some money telling people about our passion! Good luck!
Hello
I guess you are right . I didn't think about Faire patrons making their own. Oh no Halloween . I talked to my grandaughters about a costume and they told me they were to old for trick or treat:) Hope you post picture of the costume you make. I would love to see them.
I talked to a friend yesterday and she has a grandaughter who is 17 and at odds with her dad right now . My friend said that she didn't have the money to do things with her so I suggested that she bring her to my place and we could spend part of the day sewing. My friend told me that was a great idea since her granddaughter likes to do crafts.
I think it will be fun and I have everything she will need to make something.
I am working on a hanging sleeve today . I have had trouble with the top of my round quilts flopping forward so I came up with an idea that I think will prevent the problem.
MY Best
Barb
