I pulled the "Hello Kitty" out today so Jack & I could play. The Hello Kitty I'm referring to is the "Janome" -sewing machine Yaya & Poppy gave Jack. It's become an easy machine for me..really simple to use. Today I wanted to make him a pair of shorts & see if I could remember my pajama bottom pattern from last fall. I used the same pattern as the pj pants, just made into shorter versions. It's cool that you can make them any length you want. He wanted them just above the knee & I had the black denim he likes. I thought about trying a cuff on the leg, but didn't venture that far today. They are on the big side, but he likes them & they look comfty.
Jack wanted to make something simple & we came up with him going through fabrics picking two different colors/patterns & making simple place mats. Basically, just sewing like-sides together & leaving a hole to turn inside out & then sewing a side seam all the way around. He loved it. The hardest part was cutting the fabric with my very dull wheel. Take a look! He is very proud.
Maddie luckily was having fun with her little pets & our new little corner downstairs. We moved her giant dollhouse down so she can have them all together. She & Jack found some cotton on display at Kroger today & brought it home to make their little pet's a pillow:0
