More skirts!

Laura began sewing classes this summer after many months of pestering us! She is loving them! They are taught by this wonderful instuctor named Rocci Kendall. She is super talented and super patient with the girls. Laura has taken 3 classes and completed 2 drawstring bags, a pair of shorts and a skirt. In early November she completed a sewing camp where she made a Christmas stocking and an ornament. She also spent a Sunday with her Aunt Paulette sorting through Grandma Elfrink's quilting material. She chose some colors and made a quilt top throw pillow. Laura is always creating and making something for her sisters or a doll. Lack of a pattern has never stopped Laura from designing and sewing clothes for her American Girl doll. Hopefully, the lessons will help her combine her creative eye with some sewing basics!
