Learning To Sew with Maree

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Well what a busy term we had in Term 2! So many wonderful sewing projects were made and happy sewers at Rosewood Cottage.

Below is Lucy wearing her black drill straight mid length skirt featuring an off centre seam with a pleat. Lucy finished her skirt with four vibrant coloured square button sewn on the diagonal!

Margaret is featured below in another lovely??dress she made in my sewing classes made from a black medium weight double knit. Margaret redesigned this dress to include the fitted magar sleeve and created an interesting circular design feature on the back. Margaret lined each circle with a fine flesh coloured knit. Margaret also??added her black and white check scarf to complete the look.

My dear friend Lesley pictured below, visited us at Rosewood Cottage all the way from Perth! She was??a wonderful assistant on the day and very popular as she arrived with a basketful of delicious French vanilla slices! Yum!

I held another beginner sewing clinic during the school holidays. Below the girls had a wonderful and productive 2 days at Rosewood.
