Scrappy Box Fun!

Wow, summer flew by! We're all a little relieved here that school is back in session. Not because we're tired of the wonderful days with our kids, but because there is some relief that comes in getting back to a routine. Often on days when school is out or during summer vacation, we bring our kiddos to the office with us. They usually don't complain because we keep a special box of scraps just for our little visitors. It's always fun to see what they'll come up with, so I thought I would share one "Project Runway" moment we had here. It's always fun to see the creativity and enjoy the windows we get into their imaginations. You, too, can sneak a little extra sewing time in your hobby room when little ones are around by keeping a special box of goodies just for them to play with. If they're very little, include a roll of tape - that's what was used on Big Bear to hold the pieces together. No one gets stuck with pins or hurt with needles. A child's pair of scissors will do the job, and a few special new items added to the box once in awhile will keep them coming back for more. Happy Sewing Mommies and Grandmamas!!
