Sewing Journeyman (week 6) Apr 24

Well, here we are! It’s our last class!

1. This week in class, we will be doing a fashion show/show and tell of all that you have done this year! Marcie will be on hand to do a photo shoot of your creations. Please bring to class everything that you have made, whether that is one project or more than one project. If you have still-in-progress projects, we would love to see, celebrate, and photograph those too. If you have made clothing, you might want to plan what you’re wearing that day to make it easy to change into your sewn items. We will set up some kind of boys’ dressing room and girls’ dressing room to make our show run smoothly.

2. In order to do our fashion show, we’ve got to get those almost done projects finished up that may not be done yet, right?? We will be having THREE optional sewing workshop days this week for anyone that wants or needs help and group motivation to finish up whatever they have to finish up. Melissa and Annabelle will be on hand MONDAY, TUESDAY, and WEDNESDAY from 2-4 at our house to help and work together. If there are any remaining supplies you may need, grab them this weekend or Monday and head over to our house this week! Shoot us a text to let us know which day/days you will be coming.

Finally, it has been such a pleasure to see you all grow in your sewing skills this year. You should be immensely proud of yourselves. Keep us updated with your sewing in the future, and we will keep being here anytime you want to chat sewing or brainstorm ideas and resources! Nobody can stop you now!

A few resources you might want to check out as you continue your road to sewing greatness:

A book that will teach you sequentially, or in which you can look up, basically every needed skill for clothing construction

Learn to make your own outdoor gear

Remember this lady? She has LOTS of useful teaching videos.

Learn the basics of mending your clothes to make them last longer, for college, mission, and beyond!
