STUDENTS´ACHIEVEMENTS

After an wonderful week with
beautiful weather, I gave yesterday a workshop on hand-sewing. The students could choose among different technics what they wanted to have a try at. There were yo-yos, curves, set-in seams, japanese method, english paper method. Here are the results:







Christa W.










Mechthild W.




Annette Ma.












Heidi T.










Iris A.






Sarah W.







Sigrid M.







Annette Me.










Gertrud T.






Some of the students were beginners, some advanced. We had fun and I hope that all of them learned something and went back home with a lot of projects on the mind.

What wonderful projects! I think all of your students should be proud of themselves for trying some challenging techniques and doing so well. I bet you are a wonderful teacher and they are certainly lucky to have you as their instructor!

Very nice! Sewing by hand is a really great way to understand fabric, piecing and sewing in general. Even though it might seem like it takes a bit longer, you can learn so much about 1/4 in seams, and curved sewing, matching points and locking seams.

Looks a great class, I enjoyed checking out their progress. Your tv room miniatures look good, Tracey

What a fun class that must have been. I wish I could find something like it. I would like to try some hand piecing/hand work but most of the classes in my area concentrate on a big project rather than the techniques. Your students did wonderful work -- and shows what a good teacher you are.
