Calling All Tiny Seamstresses!

Every year about this time, the kids are out of school and itching for something fun to fill their time. Every year about this time, Dream Interiors drapery workroom is a buzz preparing for a fun lesson- because every year we hold a Summer Kids Sewing Workshop!

Starting at eight years old, these girls joined us- some of them from previous years, to learn the ins and outs of sewing. No matter how much experience they came with, they were all able to accomplish one thing- the basics of sewing by hand and by machine!

This year simple hand sewing tasks such as creating a pin cushion and sewing on a button were learned. It is amazing how many people do not even possess the ability to sew on a new button!

Two new projects were also introduced: the girls had the option to make a fun purse or to make a Wacky Creature with fun arms that can be tied! By choosing their own fabrics and adding special adornments such a interesting buttons, the girls each created a one of a kind keepsake that they get to take home and remember forever!
