I’ve been having lots of fun and keeping busy since I joined the teaching team at the JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts<\/a> store in the Deer Creek Shopping Center in Maplewood, MO. Last weekend we were having a rubber stamping and paper sale, so I came in to demonstrate how to make greeting cards with rubber stamps. On my demo table I also showed some products that are good for card-making and in the shadow box are samples of upcoming classes that I will be teaching. My upcoming classes include Kid’s Hand Sewn Initial Letter<\/a>, Kid’s Beaded Wish Bracelets<\/a>, Make an Art Journal,\u00a0Easy Button Bracelet and Kid’s Hand Sewn Bee Art<\/a>. Go to my Classes and Events<\/a> page for my schedule of classes and demos.<\/p>\n

My own sewing skills can always use improving, so I took the Comfy Pants class<\/a> from instructor Miss Kate. I had a great time and made my first ever handmade clothing item (unless you count the Barbie doll clothes I made when I was young). I did a lot of sewing when I was a kid but I was afraid to use a sewing machine and did not learn how until I was around 40 years old. I have done some sewing on a machine but I sewed simple things made from my own patterns such as table runners, scarves, fabric pouches, laundry bags, pillows and the like. Making clothing from a commercial pattern was something I had never done before and I’m thrilled to learn how to take my sewing to the next level! Kate knows a ton of things about making high-end clothing or simple clothing like my new Route 66 themed pajama pants!<\/p>\n
