We have done a bit of hand sewing, getting the even running stitch perfected, moving on to how it can be used to gather fabric. At this point this is what should be completed:
1. lots of muslin strips cut
2. strip with your best example of an even running stitch
3. strip with the even running stitch gathered
4. pattern printed off for the wrap skirt
5. two fabrics picked out for the skirt, washed/ironed
6. the following words added to your vocab list: muslin, even running stitch, selvage
7. notebook paper stitching
8. dot-to-dot stitching pages, as you can get to them
You are all such a joy to have in class. I look forward to each class because you make it so much fun to be there.
See you Tuesday!
Mrs. Bachert
