This is probably my favorite picture. It sums up the reason I love teaching your girls. See the smile on megan's face? That is the smile I see on all your girls when they finish a project and they know, "I have made this all by myself!" I love all of your girls! Thank you for letting me teach them:)
This has been a really FUN class! I made a class of 7th grade and older (sorry I am missing Rachel). I think they had a lot of fun and even learned a little. Ha Ha. Finding time in their busy schedules to sew, I know has been hard, but i really enjoyed these girls. I hope I can find another time that works for everyone in the future. It was soo much fun getting to know them better, and teaching them some sewing skills. I wish I had some of their energy!!! They are so cute!
I think one of the best part of sewing is seeing what fabric the girls pick out for their projects. I can see their personalities come out in the fabric they choose. Make sure they get them a little dirty over the holidays and help in the kitchen!
I LOVE this class! It is so much fun sewing aprons and PJ's and baby blankets. . . One of these mornings I will have warm "yummy" muffins to share. I keep trying to make treats for the morning class, and keep burning everything. I'm not great at multi tasking (getting kids off to school and baking at the same time) Ha Ha. Don't worry girls, the adults are not better sewers than you! Sorry ladies. JK. We do have a lot of laughs tho.
I decided to do a Halloween project for my sewing classes. After the first class, I discovered it was a little difficult for the girls so only one class ended up doing them. I think they did a really good job for their FIRST stuffed animal!
We will make aprons after we finish our skirts, so you still have time to buy material.
As requested, a picture may help you in picking out the material. The bottom skirt is what we are currently working on, and most have already bought their material. The top two is material some of the girls have picked out just to give you ideas on the different color combos you can do. Its really fun seeing what the girls create and bring to class.
Each girl designed and sewed their own pillow. They learned to sew right sides together and to back stitch at the beginning and end of each row. They also learned to hand sew.
The first project we made were little bags to keep all of our sewing supplies in. The girls did a great job on their first ever sewing project! They use these bags to carry their scissors, pin cushions and sewing items with them each week to class.
They did such a great job. It is fun to see the different material each girl picks out. We have sewn sewing bags, pillows, and PJ bottoms. This next month we will be working on skirts, aprons, and possibly a purse if we have enough time.
