End of April Sewing Classes

Meghan and her sports shorts

     The after school sewing classes are starting to wind down.  A couple of the girls are going to stop at the end of the month as end of school activities start to pick up.

     Julia is working on finishing her layered skirt.  The waistband is on, now time for the elastic and the channels for it.  Bella started a nightshirt using a cute cat print flannel.  Meghan just finished her sport shorts.  She is trying to decide on her next project.  And Katie finally finished her tote.  It took her months but she kept at it and wound up with a great handbag for summer.

     Izzy is working on some sport shorts is a striped jersey knit.  After using some Best Press on the fabric to tame the curling issue the sewing is going quite well.  Next week she will do the buttonholes for the twill tape cord.  Lauren finished her black and orange plaid pants.  After sewing them up she decided they were too small for her and gave them to a friend.  Her friend couldn't believe she made them herself.  She is now working on the back slit denim skirt.  Next week she will sew on the buttons and add her label.  Christine made great progress on her bird print nightshirt.  She will probably finish it next week and be ready for a new project also.

     Cara finished her square neck blouse and will be starting a new project this week.  Hayley is almost done with her hot pink shorts.  Ellen and Greta are both working on the ruffle skirt.  Ellen missed class last week because of play practice so Greta is ahead of her and will most likely finish it this afternoon.  The skirts are turning out so cute.

     I'm off to Nashville tomorrow to run my second marathon.  I had been hoping to beat my time from October but I have been having some hip and muscle issues that have slowed me down.  I hope I can run the whole thing on Saturday.

     I am going to close this out with a cute photo of my grandson from Easter.  He made such a cute bunny.
