Allana had the brilliant idea to make throw pillows out of her old dresses. But she forgot one small detail: I don’t sew. I can barely stitch buttons.
Fortunately, Grandma offered her expertise, taught Allana to sew and helped Allana fulfill her pillow dream.

What a brilliant idea this is! I would love to know how to sew… and if I do, I’d love to make a quilt out of the baby clothes of the kids (well, whatever I have left that I hadn’t given away yet). =)
