Well, it's official. The first class of Just Sew! Studio was held this past Friday night. A total of 6 pillows were made by 3 very industrious students. I am so proud of them and their accomplishments . . . and I think they are proud of themselves too. We stitched, stuffed, ripped out seams, talked, laughed, and vented. The class ran a little longer than I had originally planned , but we didn't have to break out the sleeping bags and pillows. Everyone was home before midnight!
On Saturday, a group of us got together to decorate some t-shirts to send to some of the children affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Susan @ Living with Punks was hosting a sew along by Chelsea at Pink Fig Patterns. We got a head start and finished 5 t- shirts in a few hours. I have three more to finish and then I'm sending them off to Cali to make their way to Japan. Please keep the people of that country in your prayers as they deal with this unimaginable situation. We take so much for granted, don't we? And didn't these ladies do a great job?
Now I'm planning classes for April. On April 8 and 9, we will be making some really cute pajama boxers and a cute t-shirt - nothing better than climbing into bed in your favorite pj's! I promise, these are very easy and so cute. Erin & I made these for her "little" and many of her sorority sisters were asking where Erin got them. One of a kind just for "M"!
Then on April 29 and 30, we'll be sewing a precious apron and a matching pot holder . . . just in time for Mother's Day giving, a great gift for a bride, or a treat for yourself. I've ordered the Domestic Goddess Apron pattern from Amy Butler. If it's "new sewer friendly", that may be the pattern we use. Don't you love it?
I've also had some requests for classes on sewing children's clothes and learning how to use your own sewing machine. If that's something you're interested in, keep checking the Just Sew! Studio calendar for future classes. http://www.justsewstudio.com/Home.html
Happy Stitching from Just Sew! Studio.
