Evie and her skirt

The month of August started with Evie and Hailey taking Three Rs camp. The first thing they made was a skirt from a man's dress shirt. They both opted to make their belt loops from their contrast belt fabric instead of the leftover shirt fabric.

Next up was making a necklace from a man's tie. After a couple of hiccups getting started, they soon were working on them. This involved some hand sewing also to put the buttons on.

Next we started on their bracelets but because of the drying time for the glue, we had to put that on pause and start on their tote bags. They carefully cut off the sleeves and then I traced an opening at the neck edge with a dinner plate. They sewed the bottom closed and added gussets to give it a bit more shape.

On the last day we finished up the bracelets which involved more hand sewing. The directions called for gluing the final piece in place, but when I made mine it didn't hold together very well so hand sewing to the rescue. The girls did a great job and I hope they had fun. My last camp in currently in progress, then I take a couple of weeks off before starting after school lessons.
