The kids sewing classes are going very well. The four girls completed their first project. Each of them made a skirt. They learned how to interface the front waistband and insert elastic in the back casing. They also learned how to gather using dental floss (that was a challenge). Then they learned how to attach the gathered flounce to the skirt. (another challenge). One of the girls choose a pattern with three tiers. This eight year old did a lot of gathering.
They had lots of fun making the skirts. Each week they'd ask "Are we going to finish today?" It took four Saturdays . The sessions only last l1/2 hours.
I'm really proud of the work they did. The next project will be a purse. They are all excited about making their own purse.
