I am so excited! What a fun schedule. I am also very excited about the embroidery class. I have had an embroidery machine for over a year but have not yet used it. An I’m excited to learn about appliqué and smocking, and summer camp, etc. I love this group!! I would love to see the “summer” classes (camp and hats) moved to an earlier month (maybe June & July), so we have time to make the summer items during the summer (maybe do the stripes in August), but however you decide is great. :)
I used to do a lot of smocking for children and dolls. I did bishop dresses and detachable collars. I even have a pleater. But I haven’t done this in quite a while so this will be a good refresher course.
This looks fun! I would love to see the raincoat one get moved to March or April for Spring rains. :-)
I’m so excited! I have a goal for this next year, since my time is limited so I plan to make 1 outfit a week…Sunday-plan the outfit (cut all aspects of the entire outfit)…Monday-make the main outfit (dress/pants/skirt/blouse/or shirt…Tuesday-under garments(slip & panties)…Wednesday-Outer ware (coats, sweater, hoodies, etc)…Thursday-foot cover (socks/tights)…Friday-Footware (shoes, sandals, slippers.boots)…Saturday-Photoshoot (including uploading). The first week theme-Winter; 2nd wk- Spring 3rd wk- Summer, 4th wk- Fall 5th wk- accessories (hats, purses, bags, etc).
so looking forward to this coming year!
This looks like a fun year. I’m so glad I joined this year.
