Each one teach one?

My hand drawn illustrations, which took minutes instead of hours on the computer.

Sometimes simple is best!

Tonight I teach my first learn-to-sew class.

On the curriculum tonight:

Keep your sewing shears sacred to sewing!

We're also covering the importance of good thread, sharp needles,

and how to make a perfect stitch.

I think I'll be taking my Singer Featherweight 222K to demonstrate that!

The challenge will be teaching students on 10 different machines,

since the sewing room we're using is full of donated oldies-but-goodies

and a few new but not so great machines,

plus a beautiful Viking Lily in its own custom table.

These are some of the samples for the class.

We're making bags and pillows and pouches

using a method-based construction method.

My goal is to encourage creativity while teaching skills.

I'll let you know how it goes.
