Sewing Projects

I have completed another semester of BYU-Idaho. I still love it there! It is a great school. My major is Early Childhood/ Special Education. I want to be a preschool or kindergarten teacher. I am so excited to start taking major classes. Since I have been home I have found a job. I am working at Tamarac Medical Inc. I love the people I work with! I get great hours. The hard thing though is keeping myself productive after work. Our family has taken to spending the nights playing this new game Trek to Zion. Alisa, dad, and I could play on average about 3 games a night. It is extremely addicting. But I have decided to limit myself because I want to do other things with my free time. One thing I have always wanted to do is to learn how to sew better. Sewing is not my strong area in the field of domestic arts. Cooking is my favorite. I love making delicious meals especially the desserts.
Well, I have decided to spend this semester learning the art of sewing. So to start I decided to learn how to hem pants. Ever since I was about 12, my mom has had to hem every single pair of pants I have owned. It is time to do it on my own. These are pajama pants I bought at Old Navy on black friday.


Here is the pants after the completion of the project.



I had so much hemming these pants. I decided that same night I was going to make two fleece pillows for two of my nieces.
This is one of the pillows.
