Sewing Camp Awesomeness

Sewing Camp last week was a huge success. I’m so glad I brought my camera and made time to snap some photos on the last day. Look at the fabulous things they made. . .

Vibrant love for handmade plush toys at Shiny Happy World, especially their beloved stuffed animal frogs.

A cute bunny and some snakes in her lap – but don’t miss the silly monster on the floor near her. And that grey pillow is actually a cat pillow.

Colorful fabric doll with girl holding handmade stuffed animal, showcasing creative sewing projects.

Another bunny, some snakes, a couple of skirts, a pillowcase, and some beanbags. Busy!

Smiling girl with doll on porch holding plush owl tote bag.

Some doll clothes, an owl, and more snakes!

Colorful handmade plush toys featuring a pink creature and a dark blue monster with button eyes.

More softies! She made a bunch of snakes and a few pillowcases too.

She wanted to make things for her pets, so that’s a dog bed and a cat toy.

Colorful patchwork quilt featuring vibrant fabrics and playful patterns.

That quilt. That wonderful quilt!

Colorful handmade puppet and plush toy collection with a smiling boy, showcasing creative craft projects.

He was the softie-making king. That bear and bunny are for his sisters; the owl, hen and snake are for himself. Yes – that’s a GIANT version of the snake draped across his shoulders. 🙂

Jo was inspired to make her own giant snake.

 

The snakes were certainly popular. (Find the FREE snake pattern here and make your own.)

Here are two of the most special ones – a two-headed snake and a snizzard (that’s a snake/lizard, for those who don’t speak 8-year-old). 🙂

And one more shot of all the awesomeness. . .
