Milmompreneur Maker: Wherever we go, I quilt, teach & sew!

Free Sew Friday: Pins & Needles!

1/2/2015

My daughters have gotten very excited about sewing and cooking recently. I'm trying to relax about letting them share tasks with me - the whole "yes, it goes more slowly and gets more messy, but we're making memories!" mantra has helped come kitchen time, but I hadn't been as excited to share my sewing studio. Now that I want to get back to sewing more frequently, though, I've realized some shared time might be just the ticket - a chance to let them play with fabric while I maybe play with some less serious, more fun and open-ended projects, as well.

"One of these things is not like the other..." When you let kids help with meal planning, all of a sudden Big Bird is offering up recipes ; )

I'm going to try and post regularly on Fridays with a few pics of what we're up to. I don't plan to write nearly this much each week, but just to try to be spontaneous and cross post a few @berrybarndesigns IG snapshots with #freesewfriday.

Laying out their designs... we'll see how the pinning goes!

First time trying it herself!

Love the pictures. I think we'll be cutting out the squares for my son's project tonight so we can spend some time this weekend working on his first quilt before he returns to school on Monday. I'm excited, but know it will also be an exercise in patience. :-) (I'm @sarahmgoer on IG)

You are a brave mommy. I'm not ready to share yet, lol. The last pic is so very cute though.

I love that my kids want to cook and craft. I resent that the only free time I have to sew is when they want to do it too! I don't resent them wanting to, just the lack of time for me. Yes I'm on Instagram. I'm @sarahkrothe
