July!

I don't want summer to ever end! I love the weather and the kids home! And even though I loved Trek for the Youth, I am glad I am not sewing anything pioneer anymore! :) That is why June we didnt have anything going for sewing group.

Monday, July 11th 10am at my house!
the 2nd Monday!
July Sewing Group will be on SKIRTS!
 Skirts for you or your daughters. I will be specifically doing Aline skirts for the teen to women sizes. And elastic waist skirts for the little girls.

Materials needed:
I have a pattern for what we are doing! Unless you want to bring your own!

Aline skirt for women: 7"-9" zipper (invisible zipper prefered)(I do have several regular zippers that someone gave to me that you are free to use.), thread, 1 1/2 to 2 yards of fabric and lining. (lining optional)

Awesome Tutorial here! A preview of what we'll be doing. :)

DO NOT BE SCARED OF ZIPPERS!!! You can do it! I will teach you! And if you dont do it right, I'll tell you to do it again! And then if you still dont do it right.... I'll do it for you! :) See how easy that is! :)

Skirts for little ones or for you!:  Measure how long you want your skirt on your little girl. Add 3 inches. That's how much fabric you need cut. Average is about 1/2 yard. You'll also need to measure around her waist for the elastic. It's about 20" of 1" elastic for each skirt. Thread.

Another awesome Tutorial here! A preview of what we'll be doing.
 Hey, you can even do this one for you! Just measure how long you want the skirt and add 3 inches.
