Beginner Sewing Classes For Children And Teens

I am in the process of developing a mini-camp program for Beginner and Basic Sewing classes for children and teens with our local Recreation Dept Leisure Services during the summer. It will be divided into two separate groups, ages 7 - 11 in one and 12 & up in another. I know I will need to keep it simple especially for the younger group. We have talked about a few different ideas of what to make but I was wondering if any one here has any suggestions or other ideas? We can make some of the… Continue

New Year's Resolutions

So far I have only 3 New Year's resolutions.

1. Get myself organizes...AGAIN!!!
2. Lose weight.
3. Spend more time sewing.
Maybe I'll leave it at that. I should be able to accomplish that in one year. Any one else have a list started yet? Oh, and 1 more. Finish projects that I start.

The Snow is Gone

The snow is gone. It melted away by Thursday evening. Now the ground is just a wet soggy mess. It is about 65 degrees and a typical Southern La fall day. My son has a final in Hammond so we are on our way out the door. It will be all afternoon at the sewing machine to work on Christmas gifts. I guess supper will be whatever leftovers are in the fridge... Write again soon...

Snow in New Orleans

It is snowing here in the New Orleans, LA area. It's the first time since Christmas Day 2004. I had to go and pick up my daughter from school because they decided to close all the schools. This area does not know how to function in snow. Nobody knows how to drive in it or do anything else apparently. I suppose I'll be spending the rest of the day with my sewing machine working on Christmas gifts. Ha! It looks like the sun is coming out.

At 5:27pm on August 21, 2008, VickiM said…: I want to use professional fabrics; do you have a source for "ready to wear" fabrics? I have looked online and found a couple of possibles. Someone mentioned asking Joann's Fabrics to see if they would special order something for me. So far, that is the hardest is finding the best fabrics. I also need to purchase a serger. I have a page at www.myspace.com/tulsakeepinguinstitches if you would like to see what I have been doing. I don't have clothing up yet but will soon. Maybe we can encourage each other.

I'm so happy to have someone respond to me so quickly and so willing to answer questions for too. I really want to get good at this. i saw the picture up above and thought that maybe that is the kind of dress I could make out of pillow cases?
