My Daughter Sewing

Today I have to brag on my daughter a bit.  Today she turns 9!  That means its been almost 10 years since we started the pregnant, baby, children adventure.  Unbelievable.  She's been mentioning lately that she'd like to make another quilt, or sew something.  So the other day, as I was looking at her small square blue pillow (Oma got for her years ago), I realized it could use a pillow case to make it look a bit nicer after all the years of use its gotten.

 The pillow in place with a new birthday present.

 Ellie sewing last night.  (I think I need to clean my camera lens!)

 After it was all done.
 I told her to go pick out a piece of cat fabric from the 48! yards I had still in the box.  I did the figuring and measuring, while showing her how.  She did the ironing and sewing.  Pretty snazzy!

Oh, sorry, I mean Pillow Case.  Piddow Hase is how WP says it :)
He has learned where the kid fabrics are at our LQS.  This is a fabric that he picked out the bolt, carried it around and insisted that I get some.

 It has everything that he loves, and the ladies helpfully pointed out that just a half yard makes a great pillow case.

 So a few weeks back we happened upon the fabric in my pile, pulled out a matching batik for the edge, and sewed up a pillowcase.  If you do a fold-over edge, there isn't even any hemming involved.  Fast and Easy!

He's pretty happy about it.
