I love sewing
My granddaughter came to spend a few weeks with me, and I decided to teach her to sew.  After I had gone through a lengthy explanation of how to thread the machine, she stepped back, put her hands on her hips, and said in disbelief, "You mean you can do all that, but you can't play my Game Boy?"

Greetings!
 
Thanksgiving is fast approching and the busy holiday season in almost here.  This month I have a Pilgrim boys pattern availble, it's adorable and easy, with a hat, collar, and cuffs.  Any little Pilgrim boy will be a hit at his Thanksgiving feast.  If you missed the Pilgrim girls outfit in our last newsletter, you can check it out here >>>>>Fall Sewing Ideas
 
With the seasons changing it gives us a time to look back over our year and reflect on the things that we are thankful for, as well as reminding us to begin making plans for the Christmas holidays.  So get out your machine, go through your patterns, and make a list!  
 
 
Have a great, sew-fun fall!    ~ JoAnn

Utilize this fun devotional to bond with your son as he completes projects outlined in the "Buckles & Bobbins" instructional. Each devotional includes a memory verse, words of wisdom and important life lessons that directly relate to projects in "Buckles & Bobbins". Spiritual concepts will come alive as he experiences them through the fun projects. Boys will grow in wisdom and appreciation of God's word, and its application to their lives. A joyful and exciting way to incorporate biblical principals into a boys life.
