Sewing

Michael learned to sew in his after-school childcare. He made a beanbag. Spencer was intrigued. And rightly so. It is impressive to make something. So, I pulled out some fabric and some dried lentils and needle and thread and both boys made beanbags. Hand-sewn. Intoxicated by our success, I pulled out fleece and cotton stuffing stuff, and the boys each made a small soft pillow. Lovely. At this point, they informed me that they were going to start a sewing business. Our good friend Collin heard of this, and very thoughtfully bought the boys a compact sewing machine (inexplicably called "The Shark") for Christmas. The boys brought the sewing machine with them on their visit to Grandma and Grandpa. During that trip they made pillows. With pillowcases (with edging on the pillowcases). I have since purchased more fabric and I am excited to see what they make next.
