Week One/Two - Bobby-pins and Pin-backs
We will be spending week one and two making hair accessories and shamrock pin-wheels. Beginner students will be making a bobby-pin backed "yo-yos" (top picture - on right) and the advanced students will be making the bobby-pin backed fabric ranaculas (top picture on left).
Both of these hair accessory projects serve to practice refine the sewing of circles and curves and gathering - all essential skills in more advanced sewing projects.
All skill levels will be making a matching set - with left over time on the second week we will be making the shamrock pinwheels. These pinwheels have pin-backs and will be ready to wear just in time for St. Patrick's Day.
Week Three - Beanie Bunnies (Actually Ricey Rabbits)
These rice filled bunnies are all curves and turns. Yet another project to practice our machine sewing turning abilities. There is also some embroidery involved. There is also a bit of a surprise that has to do with these sleepy little bunnies that will not be revealed until we make them.Week Four and Five - BUNNY SLIPPERS!!!
There are two different versions of these fuzzy footsies - one a little more challenging than the other. Using the knowledge of sewing curves that students have refined all month long - they will construct their very own pair a bunny slippers. This project will take us two weeks and these slippers will be ready just in time for Easter.Ladies Sewing (Adult) 8:00pm

Cute hostess Easter Apron.

Everything looks so fun and the blog is great! I'm so glad things are going well.
ReplyDeleteJaycee is LOVING the classes! She is very excited about getting to come home with a finished project each time...other classes we've looked at spend a lot of time the first couple of months doing basic skills but not completing anything except maybe a tote bag by the end of week 4...
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your time & effort! Glad we got ourselves a space in class! My 6yr old can't wait for her turn to sew!!
