Ellen finished her Weekender Bag this week

Juanita appliqued initials onto a library bag for her grandson

Sue is making the scalloped borders for her daughter's quilt

Star Wars

I LOVE the fabrics from http://www.makeithobbyncraft.com.au/

This is one of a few fabrics I bought at Supanova and

the Stitches and Craft show recently. 

The shirt (for my son) was inspired by one on display at Supanova.

The pattern is Burda 9524.

I widened the shoulders, and added about 10cm to the length.

I also reduced the seam allowances to 6mm as I had just made

a Kwik Sew shirt and found them much easier to work with

especially around the collar and stand. Try it sometime.

I used 1m of each fabric. The collar and pocket are

fussy cut to show off the print.

I love using Steam a Seam - to position the pocket

so it won't move while sewing around it, and also

on the front hems (because they are narrow and edge to edge).

If the collar gave me any grief, I was planning 

on using it there too, but didn't need to.

Very pleased with the results.

Teen and Children's Classes this week

New teens class with Natalie, Alyssa, and Misa who was visiting from Japan.

The girls all chose lovely bright colours for their cushions.

Georgia made a satchel from some very pretty fabrics.

I forgot to take a photo of the lining. Oops.

Esther and Maggie have mad diary covers.

They'd all make great entries in the Beaudesert Show.

Don't forget entires must be received by August 30.

This week in class ...

The girls chose bright colours to make their first sewing project.

 

Jan has made a special quilt for baby Summer

Embroidery in progress

Happy Birthday Georgia

Georgia was very lucky to receive an overlocker for her birthday.

She has not used one before in class, so I quickly designed a very easy cushion cover that she has sewn entirely on her new overlocker.

Well done Georgia - nothing to be scared of!
