Holiday Sewing Projects
Hello Friends,
This past few weeks my classes have been working on elementary hand stitches and basic machine techniques. You could say we are getting “in the groove” for sewing our next projects!
Ms Bobbi (that’s me!) purchased some of the cutest Halloween fabric from Riley Blake. Most of the fabric glows in the dark! We had a blast making Halloween pillows, Halloween candy bags, and Kleenex pouches to celebrate the season.
I started to make my own designs for my hand projects and my first kits were all tested and approved by my students. My younger sewers made my Pumpkin Pillow and my older students made my Pumpkin or Spider Pouch. Look for more, both hand and machine, as we continue through the school year!
As the holiday approaches, my focus will be on celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, and any other holiday that people celebrate during this time. My students enjoy making seasonal projects and they love making gifts for family and friends to show off their new sewing skills! And Ms Bobbi loves seeing their smiles as they finish each project and realize that they made it themselves. Learning to sew and loving it!
Until next time,
Ms Bobbi
