vintage sewing 7th birthday party!

Today's winning party feature goes to this darling VINTAGE SEWING BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Pure Joy Events. Christine's daughter, Kate became hooked on sewing after receiving a sewing kit and toy sewing machine from Santa. A few weeks later...she asked for a sewing birthday party. What a cute theme!

Heather Bailey's Nicey Jane fabric collection became the inspiration for the party. On the day of the party, the children's playroom was transformed into a sewing room, complete with a vintage rotary sewing machine, vintage spools of thread and hand-made pin cushions. Christine created a simple backdrop by stretching fabric on embroidery hoops of various sizes and hanging them on a giant cork board. Vintage blue mason jars holding fresh flowers were placed on each of the tables, and DIY ruffled fabric garlands {tutorial here} were draped across chair backs.

Sewing themed desserts included a sewing basket cake by PhoebeCakes, spool of thread cape pops {tutorial found here}, and sugar cookies by JP Creatibles.

For one activity, the girls used embroidery thread to stitch their first initial and a flower onto eco-felt that was stretched over a hoop {you can purchase this craft kit here}...

The girls guessed the number of buttons in a jar {answer was 157} and played a few rounds of "hoop toss"...

Beautifully sewn pencil pouches by Bagel Creations and hand-crafted button cards were give to guests as they left the party...
