Spring break sewing

DS2 is on spring break and is sewing 12.5 inch blocks together

to make a single-sized top.

He plans to tie this instead of quilting it,

to make a donation blanket for Mennonite Central Committee.

I got him set up on the Singer Featherweight and he's already threaded it like a pro.

He's a machinery kind of guy, and so he approached this like a mechanic.

I'm on pressing duty, and I've shown him how to lock the seam allowances at the intersections.

In this video, he's sewing the long seam confidently and did not sew over any pins.

Stay tuned for a finished project at the end of the week.

Grandma is going to take a turn helping him layer and tie it

since she has big tables in her sewing room.
