🧵 Our Sewing 1 students have been busy creating and learning! They recently completed a fabric letter project, where they practiced using interfacing, batting, and pinking shears. But they didn’t stop there!
👖 Students also followed a traditional Simplicity pattern to machine-sew their very own pair of pajama pants—reading and following the pattern, sewing a waistband, inserting elastic, and finishing hems like pros! 👏
Sewing is definitely not a lost art in this class! We’re so proud of the patience, focus, and skills our students are developing. Keep up the fantastic work, Sewing 1! 🪡
