Bring Your Aprons and Machines Reminder...

Hi ladies,

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. The days in between our last class have warped past me like as in warp speed! Eeek!

I'm working on the apron just like you and hoping to be done or close to done by tomorrow when I see you. Wanted to finish but was altering 3 costumes for my children. Proof that sewing is an invaluable skill!

Below is a tutorial on how to sew on curves on the machine. We have some curves on our apron and so I think it will be helpful to you all.



**Please note what she said about the paper dulling the needle. This reminds me to tell you all to change out your needles on your machines. I think some of the machines that are jamming by shoving the fabric into the machine and knotting perhaps have this simple solution to an annoying problem. Change those needles frequently! :-)

Plus another demo of the chain stitch:



Hint: I think using a thicker thread meant for embroidery (like she is using here) for the smiley face on our monkeys will help make our smiles stand out more.
