Hello Friends,

This past few weeks my classes have been working on elementary hand stitches and basic machine techniques. You could say we are getting “in the groove” for sewing our next projects!

Ms Bobbi (that’s me!) purchased some of the cutest Halloween fabric from Riley Blake. Most of the fabric glows in the dark! We had a blast making Halloween pillows, Halloween candy bags, and Kleenex pouches to celebrate the season.

I started to make my own designs for my hand projects and my first kits were all tested and approved by my students. My younger sewers made my Pumpkin Pillow and my older students made my Pumpkin or Spider Pouch. Look for more, both hand and machine, as we continue through the school year!

As the holiday approaches, my focus will be on celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, and any other holiday that people celebrate during this time. My students enjoy making seasonal projects and they love making gifts for family and friends to show off their new sewing skills! And Ms Bobbi loves seeing their smiles as they finish each project and realize that they made it themselves. Learning to sew and loving it!

Until next time,

Ms Bobbi

Hello Friends, I’m finally able to offer on my website many of the kits that I use in my classes. Look for them under Ms Bobbi’s Kits of the Month in the shopping section of my website. Each kit is complete with everything you need to complete the project. If you need something that’s not in the kit like stuffing it will be clearly marked on the kit. All that’s needed is an enthusiastic sewer and a bit of creativity!

Perfect for gift giving for birthdays, holidays, or other special occasions, these sewing kits are great for building skill in both hand and machine sewing. Great for students in my classes as well as homeschoolers and teachers wanting to teach beginning sewing skills in their classes. Wonderful for Girl Scout Troops, 4-H groups, Indian Guides, and play dates! Kits are also a great addition to Makerspaces in libraries, schools, and elementary classrooms. Kits for this Month are Halloween projects.

A Pumpkin Pillow with faces to cut for my young sewers and Pumpkin or Spider Pouches for my older kids. More kits coming as I continue to add to my collection. Enjoy!

Learning to Sew and Loving it!
