End of semester - "trimming the loose ends"

We have one more class in this semester.  I am so proud of the work you have completed.  The shirts are almost finished.  It was a fun project, it lived up to the name "Sweet and Simple".

The goal is to finish the shirt in our last class on December 8th.  I will be available on December 15th for anyone that needs to meet.

More techniques were learned and/or perfected with the shirt project.

* You had another chance to find the straight grain of your fabric

* You laid and cut out your pattern with more confidence

* You learned how to finish the raw edges of the fabric

* You learned how to make a casing and work with elastic

* You had a chance to perfect your topsitiching

* And finally, you had opportunities to make and correct mistakes :o)


For next week:


* Check the vocab list for new word

* Bring your wrap skirt and the self-evaluation form to class

* Bring your shirt to class

* If you have ribbon around the house and want to add that to the shirt, please bring than along

Second semester will begin in mid-January.  We will get right to the Twirl Skirt.  There will be a few things for you to do over the break to prepare for that project - we will discuss that on Tuesday.

Thanks!

Mrs. B
