Fort Collins Sewing Collective

Hi Mommas,

As the school year winds down (finally!), and before all of our stay-at-home orders are lifted, would any of your people be interested in a virtual sewing class? I’m thinking about doing a week-long class in which you would pick up a bag containing all of the supplies necessary for a sewing project. Then, I would send you 5 mini sewing lesson videos for your little to follow along with, since coordinating multiple zoom lesson times might get tricky. I would also be available for a facetime check-in. Does this sound like something your kids might enjoy? I welcome your input!

A Sewing Army, Making Masks for America With overrun hospitals facing an acute shortage of masks, people are pulling out their sewing machines to fill the void.

My oldest daughter hasn’t embroidered in a while, and wanted to make an embroidered wall hanging for her baby cousin.

This is her first major embroidery project in years, and I’m impressed by her initial efforts at backstitching (it’s hidden under the satin stitching now) and satin stitching. Her project is only halfway done. I’ll post more as it progresses.

Have you ever embroidered? Would you like to learn how?

Embroidery is MUCH easier than it looks, and the results are stunning!
