Sew Let's Party

Last weekend Zoe celebrated her SEVENth birthday by having a sewing party.  I was so busy helping the girls make skirts that I didn't get many pictures of the party happenings.  Zoe was thrilled to celebrate her special day by sewing and playing with her close friends.

 Happy 7th Birthday

I didn't get many pictures of the table.  I used a an old pattern as a table cloth 

and cut out sewing machines to decorate the table

Yummy!

 The goodie baskets 

 Along with the pincushion, I made a box out of paint chips.
Inside the box, I put a sewing machine charm.  
We started a new tradition this year...
At each birthday party the girls who attend a birthday party get a charm 
that matches the theme of the party.  Another mom and I made bracelets 
and the girls add a charm.  We figure after years of parties the girls
will be able to look at their bracelets and have fond memories of the 
birthday parties over the years.  From this year alone, the girls have a fortune
cookie charm from a Chinese Tea Party,  a sewing machine charm from Zoe's 
Sewing Party, and a flower charm from a Fairy Party.
