Demolition and summer sewing with kids

Remember this post about summer vacations?

Well ours has officially begun.

My husband started tearing down the deck this week

which gives me plenty of sewing time!

(when I'm not staring at him while he works :-)

I have been doing the top stitching for my On a Whim quilt

but I took a break to do some projects with my kiddo's.

Last year we made bean bags and pillow cases 

so I figure they were ready for Jeni's Drawstring bag.

These bags are soooo easy and fun!

My Roan is a BYU and Jimmer enthusiast!

I really tried hard to get him to choose a cooler print

but he was having none of that.

Sasha's bag is so girly and fun!

I love all of her selections!

And we used all peak hour prints for Hudson's.

I sewed his entire bag.

He's just a wee bit young still!

I love this want ad print!

I have loved seeing them ride their bikes 

with their bags tied to the handle bars.

They have been filled up with snacks and candy, 

airsoft guns and ammunition, sunscreen and water bottles, 

matchbox cars and scriptures on Sundays.

Sasha tells me it's the most special thing we've ever made!

Really?  Wow, we've made a lot of stuff!  

So if your kids are bored with summer already 

this pattern will be the best $6.50 you've ever spent. 

Now I've got to get back to my top stitching!
