Make a Marble Maze - They are Amazing!

 I am always on the hunt for projects to sew that are easy kid projects.  It needs to be something that a beginner sewer can make, takes only a few supplies but also has an appeal to kids.  The Marble Maze project checks off all of those boxes.  It is easy to sew, takes only a few supplies and kids love them.

They are great for kids who need something to do with their hands while waiting at the dentist office or in the car.  You can play by yourself or race with a friend to see who can get through the maze the fastest.  I have to admit when I made the sample for my sewing class I could not put it down. It is soothing and fun.

Watch the video below on my YouTube channel - Sew-Learn-Create so you can make some for your and your family.  They would also be a great party favor for a kids birthday.

Have an aMazing time sewing up this project.

2020 - A year like no other and new beginnings

 The year 2020 was definitely a year to remember.  When the pandemic hit I was at a quilters retreat.  It was the week after our daughter's wedding.  As things began to shut down I was asking my friends what they were talking about.  I had no clue because we had spent every spare moment for the previous 11 months planning a wedding.  By the time I got home from the retreat the country was in quarantine.  Being at home full time and not having to go to work was like my dream come true.  Especially since I was fortunate enough to still be receiving my paycheck while in quarantine.  

Since I love to sew, craft and quilt there were plenty of projects to work on during this time.  Our grown son was also home during the quarantine only he had lost a good portion of his self-employed income from teaching private percussion lessons. I began to help him process this new reality and ideas for projects he could work on began to flow.  One of those projects was me finally starting my YouTube channel.  

I had been talking about it for several years but did not have the time to figure out how to begin.  Well, now I had the time.  My son agreed to film and edit the videos so it was a win-win for both of us.  In April 2020 in the middle of a world wide pandemic Sew-Learn-Create YouTube channel was born.  On the channel I do sewing, crafting and DIY projects.  Many of the projects we make come from the sewing classes I teach.

My son and I have learned so much over the last year.  My channel has grown much faster than I thought it would and I am now over 500 subscribers.  A simple Thank You doesn't begin to show my appreciation for the support and encouragement I have received.

New projects are always in the works for the channel.  If you have any suggestions for a project you would like us to try leave a comment below.  And if you have not checked out Sew-Learn-Create head on over and give us a try.

The year 2020 was a year like no other but I thank God for the time at home and for the opportunity to share my creative passions with others on a new platform.
