The focus for this class was to learn how to use the machines and then to make various items for their American Girl dolls. Here they are posing with their dolls and their classmates on the last day:
The first day they practiced sewing in a straight line, learned to thread the machine and the bobbin, and made a little pouch. We learned that day that there was "homework" each evening, to cut the fabric pieces needed for the next day's project.
The second day they made nightgowns for their dolls. Sophie chose pink and gray fabrics. Hannah's color scheme was red and white.
Wednesday was a busy day with a complex project, a doll-sized sleeping bag with a ribbon closure. Here is Sophie with hers:
On Thursday they made a pillow (you can see Sophie's above) as well as a bean bag for the doll. Hannah's bean bag is pictured below.
Friday's project was a comforter for a doll bed. Along the way they each experienced pricked fingers and burns from ironing fabric, but they loved the class and are anxious to do more sewing and creating. The final pictures below show them with their dolls and all the items they made over the course of the week. I would anticipate that they'll take another sewing class next summer!
Talented and beautiful!
