First designs complete! We changed directions and decided to trace patterns from shirts they already had. Does anyone else's brain malfunction if someone else breathes near you while you're trying to focus?
They also both chose tricky fabrics. We went into the shop with the rule of woven natural fibres only. Clearly that went out the window, ha. Who am I to say no when personal style demands to be expressed.
Although they stuck it out and tried each of the steps from pattern making to cutting and sewing, I did most of the work. However, they got to practice using my serger and it went really well. It made me think that I could possibly even pull off a serger class for kids.
They've each got a design or two left to bring to life. Stay posted.
