Sorry just running a little behind on posting whats been happening.
First off would like to say Welcome Annette to the first sewing/quilt lesson. We had a great time, and Im going to enjoy teaching her as much as I can in 4 lessons. However, a person cant learn it all in 4 lessons, and I'm here for her with any additional questions and challenges she may have after lessons are over.
1st Lesson: Learning how to measure, square up and cut fabric. Annette has the June Tailor slotted cut ruler, as do I but, this does not teach anyone how to square up fabrics when not using this amazing ruler. So its back to step one. How to use other rulers besides the slotted cut ruler.
Even though she has a pattern that left much to be desired re: cutting instructions we managed to get enough cut to send her home with homework. We used my design board to lay out each block for her to take home and sew together.
Yesterday was Sew Day with the Girls our once a month sew day
I finally made MY VERY OWN bag. I promised myself this is not going to be given or sold to someone else as all of my other bags in the past. Just to make sure, I transferred all of my "stuff" from my other purse to this one this morning. I can truly say I love this bag. With the pockets on the inside and outside, everything is so organized and so easy to find whats in the purse. Unlike my other purse, once something got out of place in the that one, I had to empty the entire purse to find what I was looking for.
