My featherweight collection got quite the work out the last two weeks. I hosted Kids Sewing Camp here at the house and each student had loads of fun using one of my five featherweights.
When I first mentioned that I was going to have a sewing camp, the five student class filled quickly with Miss P's friends and before I knew it I had three groups of kids signed up.
We did a bit of basic sewing practice and then made three projects.
The first project was a pillowcase.
Second, we used mama urchin's tutorial for the drawstring backpacks and sized them up a bit because the tutorial is for a toddler size.
The last project of the week was pajama pants. Most of the kids used Rae's Parsley pants pattern. A few of the older kids used the Sew Easy Pajama Pants by Cindy Taylor Oates.
I think all of the campers had fun making their projects, playing with our young chicks, and and swinging on our barn swing. Our chicks are much tamer now after all of the attention they got.
Sewing Camp was so much fun for everyone that I think it will be an annual event around here.
