** My Why on 5th and 6th Graders ages 10-12. This is a HUGE Turning point in their growing up. With Self Esteem and just finding about who they are.

*** Thursday’s Sewing Room Chatter with ~Miss Connie

Highlighting this young lady, I am sad to say these are her very last projects she has finished here @ the sewing project. As she has moved out of state. This was her first year in our sewing room but WOW did she have fun creating and learning and bittersweet it was and not truly planned but I KNOW she is going to keep sewing in her new place she is at.

You see her Raglan short sleeved knit tshirt and she finished her flannel pj shorts with side seam pockets and a drawstring.

I cherish our time together and her growing skills in sewing with me. You will be missed by me!
