Twin Day

Sharen and Dup are watching the Zierk kids while Mom and Dad get some really needed R&R in Cancun.
It was time for them to learn how to sew. Sharen suggested PJ's and they loved the idea.
First stop - Joannes. The twins have never been.
What?????

They both wanted fleece - and it was on sale.
I told them that they had to circle the whole store and choose all the ones that they liked. There was fleece on the top shelf all around the store.

They needed to pick out all the ones that they thought would work and put it in the cart. Sharen had Kallie's cart and my cart had Kendall's selections.
Kallie had 2 and went with her first choice.
Kendall had 5 possibilities and choose another one altogether. And that's why you need to look at the all before choosing.

Final decision made

 Now on to the cutting counter.

Cutting Kendall's

Sharen told them how much to get and when the lady asked them they both got it right. They told her it was their first time sewing and the lady was excited for them.

After a quick game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Kallie got to sew first and Kendall did the layout and pinning first.

Kendall tried the rotary cutter, but settled on scissors

Kallie struggled a little bit with the pins, but she did it!

Sharen also purchased some material for Matthew, who opted  out of the shopping part to go hit some golf balls with Papa.
But he was up for the cutting and sewing part.

They were too short to reach the peddle so Sharen handled the speed and they each helped the material through.

There first sewing project and I am so happy I got to be a part of it.
I had a great time hanging with the twins. Who have that "twin thing" down. It really does exist.

Finished project

I'm excited to see that the lines matched up. I did mess up on Matthews a little. The Sox logo is upside down. He is such a sweetie - He truly did not care.
If you can read Kendall's shirt it says "Totally got this" and boy they sure did.
