Week twelve

We got right to work with projects this week. I love the colors, fabrics, and patterns you chose.

This week we covered straight grain and how important it is. An article of clothing, curtains, tablecloths, etc.. will not hang nicely if grainline isn't considered when you lay out your pattern. We covered how to find the straight grain, and how to lay a pattern out by measuring from the selvage.

At the end of class, time was taken to cover buttons - you girls are professional button "coverers".

Some will be missing next week, so just come back the next time prepared to begin sewing. Finish cutting out any remaining parts to your project.

Add "selvage" to your vocab list, as well as the last two seam finishes, if you haven't added those from a few weeks ago.

Great job girls!!
