Monday's Sewing Classes...

Today starts a new week... I always look forward to classes at the beginning of a week.

Well today Caedie and Jaalah came to class. I forgot to take pictures, but Caedie was finishing up making a fabric baby book for her brother's first birthday. It is actually pretty neat! Here's the pattern. Jaalah started making a sweatshirt for herself!

Next comes our 3 little girls to class...Ronni, Makena and Danielle. They have been taking lessons for a little while now, so today was the day to have them start trying things on their own. Ronni started making a sun dress for herself...She found what pieces she needed and cut out most of them by herself. Actually Ronni was only 1 point away from earning a sewing box, and yes she finally got it, after about 4 months...

 Makena made a ball for her niece..very sweet of her...

And Danielle started making a tote bag...She also was trying to do it on her own...She found the pieces she needed, cut the fabric and got the pockets put on! I am so glad these girls are all excited about sewing. I can't wait til I can hire them in my shop!

Thursday's Sewing Class...

Beth cut out her pattern. She is making a jean dress. After cutting the pattern, she started off with reading the pattern. She was learning how to create a placket in the front of the dress. A placket overlaps and you put buttonholes and buttons on it.

Juanita was working on her dress for herself...She was learning about gathering skirts and making sure everything laid evenly. She was also furthering her pattern reading skills.

Later Jayden and Hannah came to class.

 Hannah started making sweat pants for herself. She cut out the pattern, and pieced the entire main part of the pants in one class.

Jayden brought a blanket in that she needed to fix. She fixed it and immediately moved on to making a cosmetic bag for her mom. Jayden was practicing cutting out and sewing the entire bag without help. She did a great job at cutting her lining, interfacing and main fabric. This bag has a zipper. Although she needed some help with putting it in, she did great!
