who woulda though?!?!? yep! I do love Tuesdays... a new week of sewing starts on Tuesday for me & it is so uplifting to see the smiling faces when a project is completed!
the ladies made pocket pack tissue covers. they got a choice of fabrics, learned some new skills, practiced threading their machines and walked out of class with a finished project.
Plus... we celebrated a birthday with brownies! Mikey taste tested them last night to be sure they were okay for the class today... he said he might come to class for the brownies but in the long run stayed home to play in his shop!
for the tissue covers... * cut a 5.5" by 8" piece of fabric
* mark the center of the 8" edges with straight pins place perpendicular to the edge
* on both 5.5" edges, turn the fabric under 1/4" with wrong sides together and then turn under one more time to enclose the raw edge the stitch the hem in place
* fold both hemmed edges to the center with right sides of the fabric together & pin
* using a 1/4" seam allowance, stitch the raw edges and then go back over the edge of the seam allowance with a zigzag stitch.
* turn right side out & press
* insert your pocket pack of tissues!!!
You may want to make a few extra of these for ... backpacks, golf bags, fishing boxes, young mommy's carryalls, granny's handbag... you get the idea! they make a cute little gift... have fun sewing up a bunch in different colors!
The future mommies in my class have been asking for baby items so I did some web searching to make a "burping cloth" ... we'll add a class ... soon!!! please let me know... pink or blue... or waiting til the baby comes!
Have you planned your Valentine's Day yet? ... made your cards? or heart shaped wreaths? would love to hear about your projects!
am hoping that old man winter decides to take his leave quickly... getting very tired of the cold weather! so much so that I ordered a new bathing suit on line today.... just can't wait for it to warm up so I can drag the sewing machine & extension cord outside to sew in the sun!
It's that time of day when I shut everything down and spend time with my honey... Hope everyone has a wonderful evening!
