6 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD LEARN TO SEW WITH US!

April 27, 2017~ SEWING, YOUTUBE VIDEOS

 
 

Sewing doesn’t have to be scary or intimidating, it’s actually so easy! Learn to sew along with us on the 4th week of every month as I teach my two daughters how to sew from the very basics. There’s no need to memorize all the terms or need to learn other sewing skills besides straight stitching and back stitching in order to start sewing and making your masterpiece!

We will teach the very basic skills you’d need in order to start sewing and take you on simple refashions you can do immediately after learning to sew a straight stitch and then as time goes by, we will learn more skill until you can actually make your vision become a reality from start to finish! Hope you’ll join us on this sewing journey and let’s learn to sew together!

Do you like how it turned out? It’s Spring Break for us right now and my daughter is getting baptized tomorrow! When we scheduled the baptism, we didn’t realize it would be Spring break, oops! I was a little worried about not being able to find any time to sew for my video that I post every Thursdays but thanks to Little Passports, I was able to sew uninterrupted, Hallelujah! Have you heard of this subscription box? They are so cool, I have been telling many of my friends about it because I wish I had known about them earlier. They’re a monthly subscription box for kids 3 to 12 years old and there are 4 different types of boxes you can choose from. I got my 3 year old son the Early Explorers which is for kids 3 to 5 and it came with a cute cardboard suitcase with finger puppets, a world map, stickers, a really cool book that has an envelope in every page with an activity which even my girls thought was so cool and they all ended up reading it together, my second daughter chose the World Edition which is for kids 6-10, and it came with a Egyptian pyramid dig kit, a starter kit of a map, passport, cardboard travel bag and more, and my oldest chose the Science Expeditions which is for kids 9 and older and it came with a tornado maker, instant snow powder that you just add water and it magically foams up to a snow-looking magic(I was oohing and aahing louder than my kids…), volcano maker kit, and so many more! Go to Little Passports to see all they have to offer.

 

I made a 1-minute video of my kids loving their Little Passports boxes, you have to see it for yourself.

And we are giving away two 3-months subscription boxes, so there will be 2 lucky winners! Simply fill out the rafflecopter below. And also make sure to enter on my Instagram for extra entries!
