Week 7

Tuesday class:

The stars should have all the finishing touches completed and ready to turn in on Tuesday, if you haven't turned it in already.  You all have a "self-evaluation" worksheet to fill out and turn in with your star.

We practiced sewing on a button with an attached "shank" and then made a thread shank, using toothpicks to make the thread loose enough to make the shank. 

Much to the disappointment of some of you, we were unable to get the drawstring bag started but we should get that going during the next class.  We got caught up with the two seam finishes we were practicing on and there were the usual machine issues that kept us from moving along as quickly as we all wanted.

Please take time to practice on your machines between classes, that is the only way you will improve and be able to move to harder projects.  Practice double knots on your threaded needle, practice sewing straight on you machine and by hand.  Learn how to use the zigzag stitch on your machine.

See you all on Tuesday!
