Our future seamstresses!




This week I've had the most fun with 8 young ladies teaching them to sew. Some of them had never even touched a sewing machine before.

We started with the basics; threading a machine, winding a bobbin, correctly loading the bobbin in the machine, sewing a straight line, then to pivot, and finally cutting out patterns starting with a curling iron bag! The girls were very eager to learn and gave it all they had ending up with a completed bag the first day.
Above are pictures of the projects the girls have completed so far; a curling iron bag, a zippered top bag for small secrets or cosmetics, and a zippered handbag! Stay tuned tomorrow for their last project of the week.
We are already making plans for their next camp in the summertime!
Great job girls, we are all very proud of your hard work and best efforts. Our future seamstresses........
