| Finished projects |
Last week I had the first sewing camp of the summer. It was Beginning Sewing and I had four students, two boys and two girls. It was extra special as I had my grandson in the camp.

After learning how to operate the sewing machine, they all earned their Sewing Machine Driver's License. I have a special certificate that I add their photo to and have them printed and laminated. As they finish a project their earn a star sticker.

After sewing several samples they chose fabric to make a patchwork pillow. It was interesting to see how each designed their pillow front. My grandson Colton included several pieces of fabric leftover from masks that I had made for their family. The girls both opted for all the same fabric while Caleb chose just three fabrics and arranged them in a stair step layout.

Their next two projects were a drawstring bag and a book bag. As they worked on these projects they learned about zigzagging to finish raw edges and how to sew and clip curves.

They all worked hard and did a great job sewing. They also seemed to have a lot of fun. In fact one day my husband (who was working upstairs) asked if we were partying or sewing.
