Sewing with Ruby

Last week, we had one of those great days where we didn't have to go anywhere or do anything. So we didn't. As evidenced by Ruby's choice of clothing in the following pictures. Yep, her tutu bathing suit. In the middle of winter.You're only four once, right?

Ruby often asks "can I be your assistant?" when I'm sewing. She loves it when I let her snip threads or fold fabric or whatever. She asked if we could do a project together that day and she'd be my assistant. So this is what we came up with. I thought I'd share ... it's a fun way to save a stained shirt (similar to what I did here) or something to do while your kids are home from school this week. Maybe a last-minute gift idea?

All you need:
shirt.
cute assistant - preferably in a tutu.
heat-n-bond lite (sold by the yard or in a large roll at Jo-Ann. It's my favorite)
small scraps of fabric.

I just wanted to get a pic of her in the tutu ... silly girl.

Hope you enjoyed the play-by-play of our little sewing project.
