Week 3

Tuesday Class:

We began class with some brief history of the sewing machine. I hope everyone learned something about sewing machine history that they didn't already know.  I think the thing that amazes me most is the price of a machine in the 1800's.

After choosing fabrics, we embarked on the star project.  We will stitch them up during the next class and I hope we can stuff them as well.  Remember that this is a practice star - so no stressing if it doesn't turn out the way you want it to.

Speaking of things turning out well - we talked about doing our best because we should always do that in everything we do.  "Things worth doing, are worth doing well". 

What do to for this week:  I passed out a heart (dot to dot) paper for you to do.  Other than that and any assignments that haven't been turned in yet, just take some time to practice on your machine, or practice more of the even running stitching.

Since you have the star template, you could prepare another star out of fabric you may have at home.  Remember that sandpaper makes ALL the difference in marking the star on the fabric :o)  Having a second star to sew is not mandatory, just a thought if you want further practice.  Don't sew them at home though - that will be done in class.

Next week we will meet in the classroom across the hall. 

I am sure enjoying having you all in class!

See you Tuesday!
