So my brother Gideon gave me a note saying that if he got me a sewing machine, I would have to, number one, find a good brand that I like, number two, find projects I would like to make, and number three, find a suitable course that I can follow. By the way, he said this because it was my birthday on Nov 7th. So yes it was for my birthday. Forgot to mention that. Oops.  :)

I do really want a sewing machine! So I said yes. 

So today, I will say what projects I would like to make with it! Here is the list:

1. Pillowcases

2. Cute Bags

3. Scrunches

4. Table Cloths

5. Pop Corn Bags. ( the ones you have to heat up like rice warmers )

6. Maybe Shorts. 

7. Aprons

8. Cute tie bags. ( maybe even for my mom's business )

9.  A sewing machine carrier that holds, sewing scissors, rippers, scrap pieces from other projects, uhh, anything!

10. Coasters

There is probably a lot more too! I have already sewed before, pants, shorts, scrunches, bags, pillowcases, and aprons. I sewed those things with my friend's grandma. We had a lot of lessons from her. But now she is not teaching anymore because my friend doesn't have time to do those things because she plays a lot of sports. 

Bye!

I cut my brothers pants and made them into shorts!

Me and my friend Sophie was at Sophie’s grandmas house learning how to do scrunches! But I actually brought some of my brothers pants to cut into shorts. He asked me too. 

It was pretty easy doing it, it just took an hour each. Because Simeon gave me three pairs of pants for me to cut them into shorts. The reason why it took a long time is well first you have to measure and then cut them. And then you have to fold the ends of the shorts and mesure it and iron it. And then to it again. And then sew it all. I know it sounds easy but it’s not in my case!

 Simeon said he would pay me for it. But he gave me $5 for all. Not just each short but for all! I told him it should I least be $10 dollars or more for all! But he said “no. That’s way to much!” So I said fine! 

Anyways, I did have some trouble with the measuring and had to do it again. But after I finished doing all the shorts I felt good and tired! I also made some scrunches too! Scrunches take about 5 mins! It was fun doing those! I made only two of them because I didn’t have enough time. Sophie’s grandma was going to take us back soon. 

Here is a picture of the scrunches and the shorts!
