Inspiring young creative minds

We were lucky enough to host a sewing class for a brownie troop this week, and I have to say what a great time we all had. These five girls made a cool placemat to take home, complete with their name embroidered on the front (I scribbled that part out with photoshop). We had a great time showing them how to use a sewing machine for the first time while their moms taught the girls how to sew a button on by hand. At the end of the evening we showed off a bit and demonstrated how easy it is to sew on a button with the #18 foot and a BERNINA, but these are lessons that are valuable for a lifetime. All proceeds from the evening benefited Austism Speaks, so it was a positive experience for us all!
