Summer Sewing School {a sew-along invite}

Since we homeschool we have the freedom to arrange our schoolwork in a way that works best for us. We’ve done it all… schooled year round with a predetermined schedule; schooled year round because that’s just how life worked out that year; started school after labor day, took holiday from Thanksgiving until New Years and called it quits I mean, finished May 1st; set our school year by the local school district calandar and many, many other ways.

Now what works best for us is to work really, really hard academically starting about Aug. 15th (it’s really hot here remember) and finishing up in early May. The only down side is that some of our non academic learning, ie. fun stuff, gets put off until the summer. The upside is that we have all summer when we don’t have alot out of the house commitments to work on the things we’ve been waiting all year for.

This summer, Phoebe and I are going to invite a few friends over for Summer Sewing School. We’ll do this on Fridays for 6 weeks. And we’d like to invite you to join us!

This Summer Sewing School is geared toward children who are 6 years and older and mom. Mom will be an intrigal part of the school, even if mom doesn’t yet know how to sew! But is open to anyone!

We will do a variety of projects that include hand and machine sewing. So you will need to have a machine that is in good working order. It doesn’t have to be fancy. Phoebe got her first sewing machine when she was six and it went one speed…slow. It is great and we’re saving it for Esther! She has the Janome Sew Mini, they don’t make it anymore but it is similar to this one .

We’re still working out all the details, trying to determine the best projects to do to teach the skills we think are most important. We’ll have it all ironed out next week and we’ll post the details then.

So that you don’t miss the details, you might want to either follow or subscribe.
