I find that being the mom of a 3 year old, I am getting much better at dealing with the time I have to do projects. I find myself working through my creative ideas while doing the dishes, preparing meals, driving to the grocery store. I dream about my projects, practice them in my mind, make a prototype in my dreams, all this so when I have the five minutes to try it, I can actually make it.
I’ve been spending the last month on what to make with all our scraps from our Eco-Quilts. I’ll eventually post a list of all the projects I’ve researched – so you can use your scraps too. But I’m really excited about what we’ll be making over the next couple of weeks in our HomeSchool Sewing Class. Week one, we’re making Scrap Flowers (just in time for Mother’s Day). Week two, Fabric Beads. I think the LuckyStitchers will be all scrapped out by then, so we’ll be making a bucket hat during the latter part of the month.
What I really, really love about my classes at LuckyStitches, is that each person walks away with their very own creation. Each quilt we’ve made last month is completely unique. There was no set pattern, only a technique that was introduced. These creative minds can explore cutting and sewing so they can dream about it too and create their very own items, articles and art. Nothing is wrong. Everything is right and wonderful.
At the end of next week I’ll post our Scrap Flowers and let you know how we did it, so you can make your own too (or for the mom in your life…Mother’s Day is coming!). They are really, really quick. In the meantime, go grab your scraps. If you are sewing this week, don’t toss your tiny scraps, keep them. They work perfectly for these next two projects!
