One of the bestest parts about having a sewing studio is that it seems to beckon all children who visit and eventually we end up wandering in to sew something. I just luh-uve these spontaneous sewing encounters. It is fun for me to facilitate plans the kiddos dream up. On a recent play date, our friend decided she’d like to make a pillow. She drew this sketch:
It was a clear map for us. She dug through my scrap bag and we got to work. We pieced the diagonal corner designs and appliquéd the heart. It always amazes me how each child has his or her own innate and very specific sense of color and pattern.
Awwww – I love it!
So sweet. I love sewing with the little ones too 🙂
Oh my – this is so perfect!
