\"Kennedy<\/a>

Kennedy is proudly wearing the sundress she made at her grandmother’s (“Mimi” Judy Day) sewing camp.<\/p><\/div>\n

Mimi’s Sewing Camp at Judy Day’s house has been a whirlwind of activity.\u00c2\u00a0 Before the arrival of 8 year old Kennedy, Judy prepared a variety of projects.\u00c2\u00a0 Then they sewed and laughed and had a great time together.<\/p>\n

Kennedy, who has sewn with her grandmother before<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0 stitched some fabulous things.\u00c2\u00a0 This sundress was an ambitious undertaking–and didn’t she do a great job?!?\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Don’t you love her fabric choices?<\/p>\n

See how cute the back is?<\/p>\n

\"Kennedy<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This was Kennedy’s first experience cutting out by herself.<\/p>\n

Of course, Judy had a few fun American Girl doll projects for Kennedy.<\/p>\n

CORRECTION: \u00c2\u00a0The AG doll top was a modified version of the Bandeau Top and Dress by Liberty Jane Patterns. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The doll patterns are from the Martha Pullen book Sew Kool for Kids<\/em>, but the patterns were too big and needed to be altered to fit Kennedy’s\u00c2\u00a0 doll.\u00c2\u00a0 The shorts were especially large.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What a great experience for Kennedy and for Judy.\u00c2\u00a0 Lifelong memories were made while learning to sew.\u00c2\u00a0 In addition to working with her grandmother, Kennedy also attended a 5 day sewing camp at B-Sew Inn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Have you sewn with any children?\u00c2\u00a0 It is such a satisfying, fun thing to do.\u00c2\u00a0 Please share any of your pictures and\/or stories of sewing with children.\u00c2\u00a0 Connie at Blumenkinder Heirloom<\/a> has pictures of her 4 daughters’ entries in the county fair.\u00c2\u00a0 I have photos of the neat projects Jo’s 8 yo daughter and friend have sewn with Jo’s supervision.\u00c2\u00a0 My granddaughter Laurel is making good progress on the quilt<\/a> she is working on.<\/p>\n

I’ll share these pictures later.\u00c2\u00a0 Please send me any that you would like to be included.\u00c2\u00a0 I think it is really helpful and inspirational to see what other children are sewing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
