Oh, So Comfy!

We had fun in class today at Hancock Fabrics, making wild and wonderful pajama pants! 

More classes coming in April….SEW much fun!!!

Zippy Sewing Project!

We made these cute pouches in my sewing class at Hancock Fabrics last Saturday:

They are fully lined with a functional zipper closure. Perfect for pencils, makeup, or just gathering those loose items that often fill a handbag.

Coming soon: sewing classes for beginners, including Machine Basics, Fabric Flowers, and Awesome Aprons!

Totes Amazing!

We had SEW much fun making tote bags in my sewing class at Hancock Fabrics this past Saturday. The highlight for me is always watching my students get so excited when their project turns out…they are so proud of themselves! Here is a photo of the finished products.

On to zippered pouches next Saturday, then pajama pants after that!

Recycle! Reuse! Repurpose!

Our soft-sculptured doll club, the Space Coast Doll Artists, took a field trip to the Reusable Resources Adventure Center in Melbourne. Here’s a photo of the wonderful items I was able to “rescue” and plan to recycle, repurpose, and reuse:

There were so many things to choose from! Stacks of all kinds of papers and cardboard (look at those manila folders, just waiting to be made into little paper boxes!); chunks of foam that will become “rubber” stamps; tiny plastic bottles that will become storage for beads and trinkets; little foam circles that will be glued onto a base and become a texturing tool; a bag of shredded paper; a roll of twine; tin boxes; metal rulers (a closure for a purse?); pens; labels; laminate I will use as paint palettes….

I can’t wait to go back! Here’s the website in case you’d also like to visit:
