Change in plans . . . . .

Winter has arrived and we had our first "snow day" of the school year. We will follow the other classes in extending first semester into the first day back in January. That means that on our first day back, we will do what we would have done on the last day of first semester.

Bring the following to class in January:

Your finished wrap skirt and the self-evaluation form.

Your shirt, finished or not - I will pass out the shirt evaluation form that day. For those that have not completed their shirt, it would be fine to do that over the holiday break - at least to the part where the elastic goes into the casing. The rest of the shirt goes quickly. Ribbon would be nice for the shoulders, if you have some around the house that would work with your fabric color.

Fabric for the "twirl skirt" - enough for many 5-inch squares. Some want to make each square different, some will repeat fabrics as necessary. Between what fabrics that we all show up with, it may be possible to have a nice variety of fabrics. The prints should be small and solids would be nice to mix in.

We are a bit behind due to weather and illness from first semester but we can get back on track quickly if we stay focused.

Second semester will bring a new member to our class - welcome Savannah - to our sewing circle of friends!

I can't believe that we have "almost" completed a semester of classes - where did time go? You have all been a delight to have in class!

Merry Christmas!
