Another creative week!

July 3, 2012 by

Last week’s sewing camp for beginners was a blast!  The girls did a fantastic job on all of their projects!


After getting some practice on the sewing machines, they made some really cute patchwork pillows!  I love the fabric combinations they put together!  After that, there was no stopping them. They made fun journal covers,  lined tote bags, and cute pin-on fabric flowers!   I hope these girls continue sewing; they should be very proud of what they accomplished!  I’m so glad I had the chance to introduce them to sewing!

The first classes in the new studio!

June 17, 2012 by

The first week in the new studio was awesome!  I had four fantastic beginners in the morning camp and four creative advanced beginners in the afternoon camp.  In total, I think they made at least 24 artsy fabric note cards, eight journal covers, eight letter shaped pillows, 12 handy fabric boxes, eight adorable tote bags, more than six fabric flowers, six headbands, a fabric billfold, three pincushions, and eight zippered wristlets!  That’s a pretty productive week in my book.

It’s so much fun to see the creativity they bring to the projects we work on in class.  Everything looked great and everything was so different!

I don’t have a camp this week, but I’ll be busy getting ready for the rest of the summer.  I’m hoping to get some workshops and classes on the calendar soon and start working on a schedule and new patterns for the fall.  Check back soon for details!

New patterns for summer

June 10, 2012 by

Last summer, I used a curriculum I licensed and purchased for our summer sewing projects.  This year, I decided to make my own patterns and I’m so glad I did.  Not only were they fun to design, I was able to really focus on projects that taught the skills I wanted to present and tailor them to the experience level of my students.

Now that I’ve been drafting my own sewing patterns for the studio and my classes, I don’t want to stop!  I have so many ideas for patterns I would like to write and make available for sale in the studio.  Who knows, if you come by the studio during workshop time, I might just be in need of a pattern tester!
