Sewing with my 6yo

pencil-case-bpencil-case-fSewing with my 6yo...
My 6yo has difficulties keeping her pencil crayons, felts, etc organized at school... We are halfway through the year and she`s needing replacements as some of hers are broken, tiny, or missing... so today we made a special pencil case for her new pencil crayons... It has individual pockets on one side and a zippered pocket on the other.  She did some of the stitching but got easily bored...

Highland Dance Sewing
I`d forgotten to pick up canvas to use as lining for the vest... so today I zipped to the store to get some.  And even better I only came home with the 0.6m of canvas that I needed.  The pattern is prepped, tried on, and the canvas is waiting to be dried on its second time through prewash...  

What`s on the longarm?  The nautical quilt is still there... not much further... back to dark blue and doing the ropes... then I get to advance to the next section!  Halfway once I get those ropes done!  Then to figure out what I`m quilting on the Mariner`s Compass... probably just echo quilting....
