Teachers' Day Pressies

We are crazy about sewing since the last workshop we've attended in the June holidays.

Pb planned to make cushion covers for her teachers in PL. It was quite a project coz we took a few days to complete the process:

We went to Spotlight to choose and buy the fabric on Tuesday afternoon. These fabrics were selected after much deliberation because Pb was so choosy about the prints and she wanted to have a reason for each print selected. We also bought the ready-made plain cushions.

On Wed night, we cut the fabric into the desired size. We tried on the new rotary cutter and Pb was not used to it and cut her finger instead. It was a shallow cut though 😝 phew! So I did the cutting for her.

Last night, she spent quite some time pinning the parts of the fabric and sewing them up. She's not so used to grandma's sewing machine and the strings got tangled several times. I had to step in to assist her a few times... 

Finally, viola! The cushion covers were done! In total, she made 3, one for Mrs Ong, her form/ Science/ English tr, one for Miss Goh, her Math tr and one for 洪老师, her Chinese tr.

She told me that : the best part about giving trs the presents is, to see them smile!

Awww... My heart melted when she said that! Thank God for the good values Pb has learnt!
