Sew in Style Sewing Camp Week 3

Hi, Sewing Campers! This week was busy for me with teaching local sewing camps from 9 to 5:30 everyday. We had a great time and the kids made a bunch of really amazing projects from drawstring backpacks, crossbody bags, skirts, and library card wallets, not to mention half a dozen headbands! These students inspire me with their enthusiasm and creativity. I taught a mini quilt class for the first time and those quilts all looked fabulous!

Here are some pics from the quilts in progress:

What a great time we had. I think we all, myself included, learned a lot this week. I feel very thankful to have been able to work such great kids all week!

It looks awesome! I love the flower embellishment–way to be the designer, Anna! Of course, you will be entered into this week’s prize drawing for a chance to win RJR Fabric bundles and trims 🙂 If you keep this up, you’re going to have a wonderful fabric stash with which to sew for a long while! Thanks so very much for joining in and inspiring us all!

Remember: there’s still time left this week to send me a picture of your Sew in Style  projects to be entered into the  prize drawing!

 

Next week, I will share what my local students make from my book as I will be teaching from my book, Sew in Style, all week in sewing camp. I can’t wait to share! Next week’s class is full, but if you live near Eugene, Oregon, there is space in the class there for following week (7/29 – 7/31) I’ll be  teaching at the quilt shop, Piece by Piece. Pop over to their website for more info on my mini camps and beginning sewing classes 🙂

Happy Stitching!!
