Apron Night

We will be making aprons this week!!! This will be an evening, kid free event!! I'm already loving it!!

Date: Thursday April 7th

Time: 7pm

Place: Church

Below are the aprons you can choose to make. All aprons are made with cotton or cotton/poly.

Apron #1

This lovely model is showing a half apron with a ruffle on the bottom. It can also be made into a full apron with a bib.

You will need 3 fabrics: 1/2 yd fabric for skirt

1/4 yd for the ruffle and if you want pocket

1/2 yd for the ties

If you want to add the bib, 1/2 yd

***To have the bib and skirt the same pattern, just get 1 yd. If you want different on top and bottom, then 1/2 yd each. Ruffles and ties can be the same or different pattern.

*The one in the photo also has rick rack, if you want to add that.

Apron #2

For this pretty rounded edge apron you will need 1 or 2 different fabrics. You can do the apron one pattern and the ruffle and ties another or do it all the same.

You will need: 1 yd for the body

1/2 yd for the ruffles and ties

*This one also has cute rick rack on it...

Apron #3

This cute apron has 2 different fabrics, although you could use one if you choose.

You will need: 1 yd for the body

1/2 yd for the ruffles and ties

Apron #4

Our last apron is a full apron with multiple ruffles. I will try to post more information and a picture on this soon.

Bring: sewing machine, pins, thread, scissors, rotary cutter and mat, and fabric.

**If you have questions, please let me know.

Hope to see you there, can't wait to see your cute aprons!! These will not be hard to make, please come give it a try!!

Potting Party!

Here's the plan:

Brown bag lunch for yourself, treats to share

Bring: Pots for filling, gravel or rocks for the bottom of your pot

Price: $2 for potting soil and seeds. We will have flower seeds and herb seeds, if you want something specific bring it.

RSVP: Please let me know by Thursday evening if you are coming, how many and size of your pots so that we can have enough potting soil.

Bring your pots, your kids, your food and a treat to share. We will have fun in the gym and let our kids play around.

Next Week: We will be making aprons on next Thursday. You can look at the patterns on Friday and see if you are interested. More information to come.

Celebrate Banner

Just finished my banner. Wanted to give you another idea to look at. It's really very simple to make. Spent $1 on the ribbon, all else was from my scrap material. Printed letters on the computer, traced them onto a heat and bond paper and then ironed that to the fabric. Cut everything out, ironed the letters to the triangle and then stitched around everything on the machine. Just a close up to see better.
I still have loads of denim if anyone wants it. Also, I saved my letters if you want a template.

Let me know any questions I can help with!

Pennant Banners

This month we will be making banners. Here is the one Joy made. She is going to add "USA" letters to it.

Date: Thursday March 24

Time: 7pm

Place: Church building

Bring: Everything, nothing will be provided. On this one, you can just run with your imagination!

Supply suggestion: scissors, rotary cutter and mat, sewing machine, thread, ribbon, fabric, pins, glue gun, buttons, etc.

Any embellishments you might want to use. You can sew or glue this project together. You can use denim, fabric, ribbon, felt, anything really. You may want to decide what size triangle(s) and how many you want to figure out how much fabric you need. Cut out a pattern and take measurements for each triangle and then multiply that by how many you will be making. You will want enough ribbon or fabric to connect them all together. Feel free to cut your triangles out ahead of time so you can just work on the "putting together".

If you have questions, contact Mandy or Joy.

There are a few pictures in the post below for more ideas.

Word ideas:

Happy Birthday

Party

Celebrate

"Name"

USA

Halloween

Spring

Or no word at all, they are very cute and festive with out words, too.

***I have denim if any one would like to get it from me they are welcome until it is gone***

Last note: Many of you have stated that next week is overly busy for you. If you can't make it, understandable, we will have another project next month and you can always do your banner there, if you want. We will miss you, though!!
