  First of all, the sound at the beginning of the video is a mess. It does get better! I was so disappointed because I did a soundcheck and it was fine. :( Hang on past the overview and it is much better!  This adorable pattern is a great one for a new sewist. It only took a few hours to cut out and sew. This is a project you can make in the morning and wear in the afternoon! Close up of the lovely border print.

  Ready for another great fast project this week? This took only a few hours from cutting to hem. Do you have a directional or striped knit and have been waiting for the perfect pattern? This may be it! Make sure to check out the pattern prep and cutting layout if you are a new sewist. It was easy but could be confusing to some from the pattern info. There are timestamps in the Youtube description.

I am finally getting back to my quilt. Click the  create and craft  tab above to see where the quilt is now. 

A few of my sewing students are making jelly roll quilts. Click the   Create and Craft   tab   or the picture below to see step by step pictures of the process. I will update soon with part 2.

This is my van before I leave to teach sewing. There are 2 sewing machines, 20 binders, fabric, 2 cutting boards, my large tote bag with my teacher things, and a giant rolling tool box. I travel once a a week to teach sewing at my son's home school group. That giant rolling toolbox has sewing supplies like scissors, pins, tape measures etc. as well as handouts. I bring it back and forth every week. Hopefully most of the rest of the items will be stored at the facility. Every week we put up and tear down a complete sewing classroom for 5 students at a time including 5 machines, ironing boards, and cutting boards. By the end of the 8 hours of class I will have 29 students, boys and girls, junior high and high school ages come through my classroom.   This one day each week is such a blessing to me! I love teaching a skill to my students, but even more is the spark of creativity that grows through the year. These creative kids do amazing things!
