Summer Cotton Fun 2019

Projects finished in camp this week
      Just finished four fun days with Kara and Libby.  They did the Summer Cotton Fun camp which included a gathered skirt, a headband and a reversible bucket purse.

Kara and her skirt





      We started with the gathered skirt.  The girls learned how to do a basting stitch and then how to gather the fabric.  Kara's skirt fabric was a bit more challenging but she did a great job in getting it done.

         The border print of Kara's made for an interesting design opportunity.

       Next up were the headbands where they once again used the gathering stitch.  They also got to use Wonder Clips to hold the ends together as it was too thick to pin.




Libby and her headband





     Kara made hers from a cotton print while Libby chose a polka dot flannel for hers.

     Last up were their reversible bucket purses.  One side had denim and the other side was a cotton fabric.  Libby chose to do her band and other side from the same fabric, a silver polka dot.  Then we had some fun trying to cut some felt to make a flower to pin to their purses.

             We finished with plenty of time left so they both made a 2 hour purse.  We also monogrammed their initials on the fleece backed fabric before starting.  Libby also made a second headband.
