Time for REDnesday again.
This time I am in my sewing room.
First I would like to thank Sue at
for hosting every week.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On to what is happening in my sewing room.
I have posted previously about teaching my niece to sew.
Well, this past weekend, I was teaching my OTHER niece to sew.
She wanted to spend some one on one time with me as well.
(I have several nieces, but two live close enough for me to spend time with them now and then)

We didn't know what we were going to do at first, but I did have her practice sewing on fabric scraps to get used to the machine. Sewing in straight lines, then sewing curved lines, how to thread the machine, how change thread color(involves the bobbin when changing colors) and how to rewind the bobbin when we run out of bobbin thread.
I think she is doing something with the bobbin is this picture.
Not very many REDS this time, but there is the pin cushion again.
That fleece fabric is what she picked out for her project.
RED is one of the colors included in the design.
I am showing her how tell when the bobbin is full.
Bits and pieces of RED.
There is Helmi watching all that is going on at the machine.
I am wearing PINK, does that count? Maybe?
My niece is 11 1/2 years old. This is her first time to do some sewing.
I started when I was 9 when I was in 4-H.
Working on a pocket.
There is Helmi making sure we keep order in the sewing room.
Putting the pocket on!
Still putting on the pocket.
She reminds me of me when I was young and sewing. :-)
When she wasn't needing me, I worked on this.
RED base on the coffee cup I am using as a pencil holder.
Some RED in the cross stitch. Actually it is a very dark pink.
But I say it counts!
A closer view of my picture.
It is done and my niece models it.
It is a snuggie. But on the pattern it is called a Comfy Blanket.
There is a foot pocket as well.
A great way to keep your feet warm.
Demonstrating how the pocket works.
The foot pocket is at the bottom on the underside so you can slip your feet into them when they are cold.
Ta Da! The comfy blanket has arms/sleeves.
Great for holding a book or a cup of coffee or tea and still stay covered up.
I am definitely going to make one for me!
See all the RED peace symbols on the fabric.
This is the latest update that I put on the Stitch Along Blog I am part of this year.
The very dark pink in the flowers looks RED.
Happy REDnesday everyone!
