Shelley MaclennanKerry, I am so proud and thrilled at what you have created- and as a busy working mother in such a few months! You are an inspiring woman. I believe in your project and the value it brings to children at such a fundamental level of learning, connecting and enjoyment within the tactile realm of touch and feel- stimulating all senses! Sewing is not only a life skill but combined in a workshop environment enables children to interact, collaborate and celebrate with each other. Yes, technology is part of their world and future, but how wonderful to immerse them in the simple pleasures of a creative, hands on activity. We have launched a board game revolution at our house and wholly support your vision for giving children an opportunity to experience timeless traditions with a refreshing modern day twist. It oozes love and vitality- you. Viva La SewSista! Love Shelley x12y
