November Sewing Class #4

We just wrapped up our November Sewing Class by making some very functional pajama pants, 2 of the ladies couldn't make it to the last class so Lindsay got a one on one lesson. She picked out the cutest flannel to make herself a pair of pj pants. I hope they keep her nice and warm this holiday season! The pattern we used is New Look 0295 and these have pockets in them, I'm a big believer in pockets for everything especially when you have kiddos and you're always carrying things around.

She was taking them home to finish hemming them so they would fit her perfectly! I had do much fun doing another Sewing Class, I will be adding some more classes after the first of the year so watch the website for those listings. If you have a group of friends that would like to take a class together please email me and I would gladly work with you all to set something up.

November Sewing Class Week 3

This week our November Sewing Class made the Kitschy Kitchen Apron from One-Yard Wonders and I just love how the ladies apron's turned out. Kara made a pretty one with black fabric with cherries all over it and Lindsay made an adorable Christmas themed apron! These ladies are becoming more confident in their sewing skills and it shows! I love to watch them grow and expand their knowledge and I hope that this is a hobby that takes off for them. Sewing is a very rewarding skill to have because you can see your progress until you have a completed project and really the sky's the limit on what you can create!

Can't wait for next week's class, we will be making pj pants and sadly it will be our last class of the session. I will be adding some more sewing classes after the first of the year and thinking about adding a class that would continue these new found sewing skills!

November Sewing Class Part 2

For our second class in the session we made Reversible Tote Bags, using the wonderful tutorial from MADE. I do love these bags, they are simple to construct and a great size. The ladies tonight were awesome as usual, we stayed a little later so they could finish their bags before they left. The best thing about this pattern is that you can change it up in so many ways, you can have multiple fabrics or you can add the pieces together to have one larger same colored bag. The possibilities are endless and they make great gifts for teachers, just add this TOTEally awesome printable from Just Another Day in Paradise.

I just love the proud look on these faces when they finish a project that actually comes out great! I think that is one of the keys to learning to sew, pick projects that aren't so complicated that you can get a wonderful end project and have pride in that item. I love the feeling when people ask where I bought something and I can tell them that I made it!
