Valentine Handwarmers
Hello Friends!
The end of January is here and I’m finally starting sewing classes with my students! I am thrilled to be back so let the sewing begin!
This week is usually geared toward a review of basic sewing skills. The review also helps new students get started on their sewing journey.
For the next 3 weeks our projects will have a Valentine theme. Hearts are perfect for teaching how to sew curves by hand or machine. Decorating our hearts teaches elementary beading and sewing on sequins. My older classes will be decorating their hearts on the machine to learn techniques like couching or attaching lace. Everyone will love stitching projects to give that special person for Valentines Day or just for themselves! Just go to my website if you need more kits to stitch for gifts!
This week it’s Valentine Handwarmers. Hearts are filled with rice. Place them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds and drop them in a coat pocket or between the covers to warm up those fingers and/or toes! Enjoy!!
