Fabric Constructions and Gio

Thank you for being a great class!

Quilting: Once your 9 squares are sewning and ironed, you can cut out the batting and the back to the same dimensions as the front panel. We will talk about how to complete them on Monday.

American Crossing Guard Week: I recieved a message from Mr. Henke about special gift that we could make for the crossing guards in our district. I told him about our pot holders, and he thought this would be a nice gift. Today would be a great day to construct a second pot holder to say thank you for helping the WRPS students safe.

Soft Sculpture: This is our next topic. This are Ugly Dolls or Sock Monsters. To get started on this sample, get sketch paper out of cabinet 13, and draw your character in full detail. I will help you design the pattern peices on Monday. Have Fun!!!!!
