I love sewing!

A few weeks ago, we went up to Healy and met with a group of homeschoolers. The girls were making hair scrunchies. Mom and I made one, too. Miranda, which was a girl my age that I liked, used the same type of fabric as me.

On Sunday, after church was done, my mom and I decided to make another hair scrunchie out the same type of fabric that GramE and I used to make a skirt from last summer. First, we cut the fabric, and then we fold it over with the inside out. Then we put pins in it to hold it in place. Then we sew over the pins in a straight line. We sew the elastic on one end, and pull it inside out. That is what this picture is, and I am the one doing it.
Once it is right side out, we sew the other end of the elastic on. Finally, Mom hand-sews it into a circle. I hope we can make some more...

  1. What a great idea, Samantha. That is a perfect
    project for practicing your sewing skills. I'll bet it's fun to wear them. Sometime, maybe you'll send a picture with one in your hair. (I liked seeing that pretty fabric you chose for your skirt!) Love, GramE (heart)

  2. Samantha, it was fun to see the picture and read about your sewing project. Maybe I should send you some scraps of material to work with. You could make a quilt!:)

    Love, Grandma
