Sewing Project

Aurora's piano teacher is having a baby girl in August. While we were at Walmart this morning Aurora found a bear that she wanted to get for the baby.  Once we were home she asked if she could have fabric for a blanket for the bear. Just last night I found a site on pinterest of sewing projects for beginners, so I suggested that she make a tote bag to put the bear in instead of just wrapping it up in a piece of fabric.  It was the easiest bag ever.  There was very little cutting, no measuring, and it took us an hour to make.  If I had been sewing it by myself I think it would have maybe taken 30 minutes, but with it being her first time using my sewing machine I had to go over everything with her to make sure she knew what to do.  It turned out really cute.  The bag is a little big, but I am sure her piano teacher will be able to use it. Who doesn't have a need for a fabric bag sometimes, right? Aurora did a great job, some of the lines are not straight, but nobody sews a straight line the first time. We just might have to make more of these, great for a gift bag.
