Mom–Daughter Sewing Time

Meredith wanted to do a bit of sewing on Saturday and I convinced her to making a bag.  This was the last new pattern from my recent bag/purse buying spree.  It is from Tiny Seamstress Designs and called
 Little Miss Business Bag Pattern

I helped her a bit, did the ruffle on my machine with my ruffler, interpreted the instructions, etc.

I think she did a fabulous job and Meredith was so pleased on how quickly it went together.  Two changes, we made the ruffle smaller and I used peltex on the lining to give this big bag some support.

While Meredith worked on this bag, I worked on her Kimi Rose pattern with the fabric she picked out.  Which is called Crazy Love by Jennifer Paganelli and I think it has a 60’s vibe.

I am really proud of Meredith, as her sewing skills continue to improve and it was fun to spend the afternoon in the sewing room with her.
Note:  Both pictures were taken with Meredith’s camera phone.

Meredith had to work today,so it was Kaitlyn – Mom time at Joann’s and other shopping errands.  I restocked  on Peltex, fusible fleece and SF-101 from all this bag making.  Two more to go, a Kimi Rose for Erin and another Weekender for a friend.
And I did buy four pieces of fabric at Joann’s, garments here I come.
