I am not sure really what got her started with sewing. We were blessed to have two separate people in Wyoming that helped teach her a lot of the skills she has. She also had a home economics class in which she made her first quilt. I taught her a few additional quilting skills, but most she picked up on her own. She was also blessed to be hired at a costuming shop on campus where she attended school for a year and a half and learned from a wonderful teacher and mentor there.
Between all of that and running an online sewing business as well, you could just say this-girl-sews! I have fun sewing. It is her passion. Which explains why she is good at it and makes money and I do not.
It also explains why she works on multiple projects at one time.
Multiple!
Let me show you-
A formal dress that she designed. Yep, she designed it. Drives me crazy when she does that. I want to just find a nice pattern and be done. She wants to be original. Ugh!
And this quilt she is working on. Actually she came upon the blocks at a local antique store and is now putting them together for a quilt for me. Ok, it is a quilt for her, but a momma can dream, right?
And then there is this project for a friend who is working on a business endeavor. Can't give away his project yet, but when he gets famous, I will let Ashton share with you about her tiny role in it!
Well, that is mostly my project, but it is a secret for now.
See what I mean! Multiple projects!
We are so excited to start linking up monthly with Jennifer at Milk and Honey Mommy for her Sewing to Summer Series. If you have a sewing project, or two, you would like to share, I know she would like to have you join us.
Hey, maybe next month I will have a finished project to share as well.
If Ashton will let me use her machine!
Blessings,
I'm so impressed with her skills - especially love the dress she designed! I wish I had something to link up but my skills are severely lacking. I made two jumpers for our oldest daughter about 10 years ago, and both needed serious repair help from Grandmas. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's neat to see her discover a passion for sewing - what a fun lifelong skill to enjoy.
Thanks Gwen She loves it! It is indeed a lost art!
