Student Sewing Projects!

Friday, April 1st, 2011

Hi Everyone,

Here are some more sewing projects that have been made in my sewing school here at Rosewood Cottage!

Hobby Horses!

Below is Melanie (left), Meagan (centre)??and Kate (right). In sewing classes Meagan began with??making clothes for herself and family and??then had the idea to make hobby horses. Meagan now sells these gorgeous hobby horses in various shops and outlets as well as direct to customers.

Lois made this gorgeous black and white??shirt from a Butterick pattern B4659. It features a winged collar neckline, princess line seams, two sleeve variations and two different lengths. Fabric used was a stretch polished spandex cotton.

A twist top! Glenda made a twist dress for her sister from the pattern New Look 6802 which was a great success. Glenda found she had a large piece of the fabric remaining and as she likes to use up all her remnants, I suggested she make herself a twist top from the same pattern. So here you can see the result of the printed remnant coordinated with a black jersey knit. Great Job Glenda!

Sewing Apron’s – A great Gift idea!

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

Sewing Apron’s for family and friends is a favourite sewing project??of mine!

You can make quick and easy apron’s or be as fancy and decorative with theme’s and personalise them as you like!

Here is a picture of my daughter Jacqueline in her kitchen wearing her newest apron I made for her. As we both love cooking apron’s are a must have! This one is a very quick and simple apron cut out from a red ‘cuisine’??extra large tea??towel! I featured her name embroidered at the top.

And here is what she??cooked for me to say ‘Thanks Mum!’ Her delicious baked cheesecake with strawberries & cream! Perfect for an afternoon tea together!

Below is a lovely apron made from a student of mine Elaine.??Elaine made this apron in my sewing classes??for??Chrisuna and a matching apron for her son Malcolm!??The aprons below??are made from a striped cotton drill and features a great divided pocket at the front! Great job Elaine!

For an apron with extra detailing, below??is a “pretty in pink apron” I made for my daughter-in-law. It features a V cross over neckline, co-ordinating fabrics, ric-rac, a side pocket and hand towel attached with a button.
